So, if you stepped out for a nice Saturday night dinner, you probably left with the Phillies trailing 9-3 after the worst inning of Cole Hamels' life.Well, it's a little different story now.
The Phillies are leading 10-9 after scoring seven runs in the fifth inning, the final three coming on a towering home run into the second deck in right field by Greg Dobbs. It was Dobbs' majors-leading 20th pinch-hit this season, tying a 95-year-old Phillies record for most pinch-hits in a season. Doc Miller also had 20 pinch hits -- in 1913!
This is the sort of game with enough storylines to make any writer's fingers cramp. So, while I tap away at the keyboard, I'll leave you with this story about Dobbs' pinch-hitting prowess that ran in The News Journal last month.
