Daily News | Josh Harrison drives in four to power Phillies to 7-4 win over White Sox in opener of doubleheader
were on their way to an easy Game 1 win on Tuesday afternoon in the first game of a doubleheader against the White Sox. They scored three runs off White Sox starter Lance Lynn in the first inning, and two more in the third. Zack Wheeler retired six of the first seven batters he faced, but in the third with a 5-0 lead, he allowed singles to Lenyn Sosa, Elvis Andrus and Andrew Benintendi. All of a sudden, the bases were loaded with no outs.
Instead, it was something better: a gritty, hard-fought 7-4 victory. A game the Phillies won in spite of a struggling starting pitcher, and a bullpen that’s been overworked of late. After five inning from Wheeler, Gregory Soto entered in the sixth, and quickly silenced the White Sox’s bats. He retired all three batters he faced on 14 pitches, and perhaps more importantly, he threw 10 strikes.
Seranthony Domínguez, who has not looked himself this season, retired all three batters he faced in the eighth, and José Alvarado earned the save with a 1-2-3 ninth inning. In all, the Phillies’ bullpen allowed no walks, no hits, and no runs in four innings with eight strikeouts. “That’s what we’re working for. You always hate coming out of the game before the sixth or seventh. So, that’s one of my things, is trying to get to the sixth or seventh and give it to those guys. Just one of those days.”
