Comebacks Become Routine for Phillies
- Share via
PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Phillies have become so used to comebacks that even a seven-run deficit did not faze them.
Rico Brogna hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Phillies rallied Sunday to defeat the Florida Marlins, 10-9.
It was their 32nd comeback win of the season, including their second victory after trailing by seven runs.
The Phillies won three of four games in the series, all three in their last at-bat. Scott Rolen homered and drove in four runs for the Phillies.
Brogna also provided the game-winning hit in the 12th inning in the Phillies’ 7-6 victory on Friday.
“It’s all timing, I’ve been fortunate to be up in those types of situations and been able to drive the runs in,” Brogna said. “It’s been an exciting weekend for this team.”
