We may not have walked away with the win, but let's go through some of the highlights and the twists that made this game exciting.Early Innings
The game started slow for both teams as neither Minnesota's bats nor Philadelphia's lineup could break through the defenses in the first few innings.

Jeffers' double brought in Austin Martin after a walk, giving us a lead of 1-0.

Our pitchers kept the Phillies in check until the bottom of the 8th, when Max Kepler managed to send one over the fence to level the game at 1-1. Heading into the 9th and 10th innings, it was anyone's game. Brooks Lee got on base with a single in the final inning to keep hope alive, but unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize.In the bottom of the 10th, the pressure mounted and Philly's Nick Castellanos hit a sacrifice fly allowing pinch-runner Harrison Bader to score, sealing the game for the home team.
