Section 143, Row 10, Seats 7-10 – left field, definitely in home run
territory (but no luck)
Game notes – Nick Pivetta got off to a rough start, throwing away a
pickoff attempt in the first and giving up two runs in the second on a pair of
walks and a double (with two wild pitches mixed in) … settled in and faced the
minimum number of batters over his final 3 innings of work … after Pivetta was
lifted for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the 5th, Adam Morgan gave
up a two-run double to Dwight Smith Jr. … Phils finally broke through against
J.A. Happ and cut the deficit to one run in the bottom of the 6th on
4 straight singles, accompanied by 2 Toronto errors … unfortunately those were
the final hits of the game for the home team … Hector Neris allowed a Curtis
Granderson homer in the 9th for the final margin
Other – Phillies had moved up to first place in the NL East after
winning Saturday, but dropped back to
second as the Braves hammered the Red Sox … the threatened rain didn’t
materialize during the game, but it did rain most of the way home, especially
on I-95 south of Baltimore, with 3 flash flood alerts coming up on my phone …
parked in Lot W rather at the Holiday Inn Philadelphia Stadium, as it turns out
that the facility is being razed in preparation for a new
hotel/casino/entertainment complex
