Cristian Pache knew he had it immediately. “It was a real man that hit that ball,” he joked after blasting a game-winning homer in the ninth inning in Miami to continue the Phillies’ roll. NBCSPhilly's CoreySeidman has the game recap.
Pache has fast become a fan favorite. Big hits will do that. Now, his personality is beginning to show. Some of his teammates, including Brandon Marsh, who Pache pinch-hit for in the ninth inning, were hysterical listening to him describe his big blast to a group of reporters in the clubhouse.
"It was a great pickup by our front office," manager Rob Thomson said."It really was. He’s a great defender and now he’s starting to swing the bat." "Pache, he’s been good when he’s had the chance," said Zack Wheeler, who allowed three runs over six innings."He was the top prospect at one point and he was that for a reason. Maybe he just didn’t click with certain teams or whatever, but he’s still got it in him. I always believe that for any kind of big prospect, I feel like they’ve always got it in them, it’s just a matter of everything clicking with the right team or right situation.
"Me and Hoff were in here. It happened, we ran to each other, slapped hands, hugged," Wheeler said."I think it’s been three in a row now where I spit the hook. So, credit to these guys battling it out. With the lineup that we have, we just can’t stop trying. Credit to those guys for keeping at it." The win was the Phillies' 13th in a row on the road, matching their franchise record. They are 23-7 since June 3 and 48-39 overall, on pace for between 89 and 90 wins. They trail the Marlins by 1½ games for the top wild-card spot. No more than three games will separate the Marlins, Dodgers, Phillies, Giants and Brewers going into Saturday's action.
