The Philadelphia Phillies mounted a late rally with former President Joe Biden in attendance but lost 4-3 to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who now lead their playoff series 2-0.
Former President Joe Biden was spotted at Game 2 of the National League Division Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he almost witnessed a thrilling comeback.
Biden’s Phillies were trailing in the bottom of the ninth, 4-1, but managed to get three straight hits to cut their deficit in half. A sacrifice bunt, however, went awry, and instead of the tying run on third with one out, it was on first.
The Phillies eventually got runners on the corners with two outs, with the speedy Trea Turner—who had the highest batting average in the National League, at the plate. He hit a grounder to second baseman Tommy Edman, who rushed his throw due to Turner’s speed. Edman’s throw was well short, but Freddie Freeman scooped it to preserve the 4-3 victory.
