Bryce Harper hit a go-ahead solo homer in the seventh inning as one of the few regulars in Philadelphia’s lineup, and the Phillies rallied to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-6 on Wednesday night, a day after clinching the NL’s top wild-card spot.
Manager Rob Thomson said, yes, it would be nice if the Phillies — now with 89 victories — could reach 90 over their final four games. A night after the Phillies secured a spot in the postseason, and with the knowledge they will open Game 1 of the playoffs Tuesday at home, Thomson said the goal was simply getting to the playoffs in one piece.“Not now. Not one bit,” Thomson said ahead of the game. “I mean, it’d be nice to get to 90 wins.
Harper played first base, had three hits, and slugged his 21st homer of the season off reliever Jose Hernandez for the 7-6 lead.And yes, Garrett Stubbs also played. Phillies fans went wild for their cult hero, and he was welcomed at home with a warm embrace from Bryson Stott. Suarez gave up three runs in the first and two in the second against the Pirates. The 28-year-old left-hander was chased in the fifth after Jack Suwinski tripled in a run to make it 6-4.
