Jhoan Duran Suffers Eighth-Inning Collapse in Phillies' Game 1 Loss

Philadelphia Phillies closer Jhoan Duran suffered a costly eighth-inning collapse in a 5-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series. Brought in early during the seventh inning by manager Don Mattingly to protect a 3-2 lead, Duran retired two batters in the eighth before giving up an infield single, a hit-by-pitch, and a go-ahead three-run home run on a 99.9-mph fastball to Austin Riley, causing Philadelphia's bullpen plan to backfire.
