⚾ The Phillies survived a pressure-packed ninth inning to beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 1-0, at Busch Stadium on Saturday, via NBCSPhilly:
The Phils, now 25-10 since June 1 and a season-high seven games over .500, have opened this series with two straight wins to go two games up on the Cardinals for control of the third and final National League wild-card spot. There's a lot of baseball left, plenty of time to go up or down in the standings, but if the Phils find themselves tied with the Cardinals for a wild-card berth at the end of the season, they will prevail because they have won the season series.
Cardinals righty Dakota Hudson matched zeroes with Gibson through six innings. The game was scoreless entering the ninth. Manager Rob Thomson thought about pinch-hitting for Darick Hall against lefty Genesis Cabrera in the seventh -- Hall had not faced a lefty in his week in the big leagues -- but decided against it because he wanted to keep Hall's bat in the lineup for later in the game.
It worked out because Hall stroked a leadoff double in the ninth against Giovanny Gallegos. The Phils turned that into the game's only run after a bunt hit by Didi Gregorius and a sacrifice fly by Bohm, the same guy who homered twice in Friday night's 2-0 win. The big plays in the inning were a strikeout of dangerous Nolan Arenado for the first out and a super heads-up play by first baseman Rhys Hoskins and second baseman Bryson Stott on a Dylan Carlson ground ball. Juan Yepez, the potential tying run, froze at third on the play -- Hoskins said he was surprised Yepez did not break for home -- and Knebel did not break to cover first. But Stott alertly covered the base and the Phils got the out, 3-4 on your scorecard.
