How the Phillies missed the World Series in loss to the Diamondbacks

How the Phillies missed the World Series in loss to the Diamondbacks

PHILADELPHIA – It took 141 years for the Phillies to play their first home game in a Game 7.

That won’t be a fond memory after they lost for the second night in a row at Citizens Bank Park, falling 4-2 to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night in the deciding game of the NLCS.

The Diamondbacks will move on to face the Texas Rangers in the World Series starting Friday. Meanwhile, the Phillies will rue the opportunities they let slip away.

And there were many.

The Phillies grabbed a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning on Bryson Stott’s double scored by Alec Bohm. Then the bats fell silent for the second night in a row. By the late innings, so did the raucous crowd that desperately tried to cheer them on to a World Series championship for the second straight season.
