Game 2 had everything that makes baseball beautiful.
Mistakes. Matchups. Short leashes. Redemption. A rookie under pressure. A superstar answering failure. A season hanging on every pitch.
Andrew Painter won the #Phillies Game 2 in his three scoreless innings, showing a growth in maturity.

Bryce Harper made a mistake that helped put the #Phillies six outs from elimination.
His mind went to his son.
“I was thinking about Krew, my son, what I would say to him in that situation.”

Andrew Painter has dealt with an up-and-down rookie season. But in an elimination game, he came out of a depleted bullpen in his first-ever relief appearance to help extend the #Phillies’ season at least a day longer.
