That price didn't age well. The Twins jumped ahead early and had this game firmly in hand through 3 innings, but Philadelphia had already made a habit of chipping away at Minnesota pitching all weekend, and this finale went the same way.
A 4-run sixth pulled the Phillies within 1, and a 3-run eighth flipped the whole thing, turning a 5-0 hole into a 7-5 win. Philadelphia out-hit Minnesota 9-7 and played clean defense while the Twins committed an error, but the bigger story was a pitching staff that couldn't hold a lead it built early.
This wasn't a one-off. The Phillies had already taken the first 2 games of this set 7-1 and 9-1 before Sunday, so the finale completed a sweep that was lopsided from the start. Minnesota, playing without its best rotation pieces all series, simply never found an answer for a Philadelphia lineup that hit the ball hard from the first pitch to the last out of every game.
Philadelphia moves to 66-58 on a series that leaves little doubt about who the better club was this week. Minnesota falls to 60-64 and heads into its next stretch needing healthy arms more than anything else — the injured list, not the scoreboard, was the real story of this series.
