After a rare loss on Friday night, the Philadelphia Phillies (37-15) will try to get back on the winning track against the Colorado Rockies (17-33) on Saturday.
In a weirdly low-scoring game for Coors Field, the Phillies had a 2-1 lead and had the Rockies backed into a corner down to their final out. But then José Alvarado gave up a game-tying pinch-hit home run to Jacob Stallings. The Rockies eventually won the game 3-2 in the 11th, marking the first time the Phillies have lost after entering the ninth with a lead, per NBC Sports Philadelphia's Corey Seidman.
Despite the late-game drama, the night's most significant play occurred in the first inning when home plate umpire Brian Walsh ejected Bryce Harper after a seemingly innocuous conversation about a missed call.
Phillies vs. Rockies probable pitchers, May 25
- Aaron Nola (6-2) will make his 11th start of the season. He has a 3.05 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with an 8.31 K/9. Nola held the Rockies to one run on four hits in 7 1/3 innings with nine strikeouts when he faced them at Citizens Bank Park in April.
- Dakota Hudson (1-7) gets the ball for the Rockies today. The right-hander has a 5.89 ERA and 1.67 WHIP through nine starts.
