PHILADELPHIA — Twenty-four hours after the Phillies scored 15 runs and banged out 20 hits against reigning Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara, fans threw $1 hot dogs onto the field.
This is city that will hold you accountable, and the Phillies failed to capitalize on the momentum they built on Monday with an 8-4 loss on Tuesday. So, on “Dollar Dog Night,” hot dogs wrapped in aluminum foil showered down from the upper decks, some of them landing on the right-field grass.
The Phillies weren’t playing clean baseball. Third baseman Edmundo Sosa committed an error in the top of the third inning, and, with two outs in the bottom of the sixth, Bryson Stott hit a bases-loaded single off Jesús Luzardo to score two runs, but took too wide of a turn at first base. Jean Segura cut off the throw to the plate and threw to first, nailing Stott, who overran the bag.
