The Phillies suffered a devastating 10-9 loss to the Orioles on Tuesday night, in one of the wackiest endings of a baseball game you'll ever see.
The game included an Orioles extra-innings two-run inside the park home run and a crucial infield pop-up drop by the Phillies.

— Baltimore Orioles -- (@Orioles) August 12, 2020Phillies manager Joe Girardi called it one of the most frustrating losses of his career.
"Angelo, the thing that I always remind myself is how quickly the game moves for a player," Girardi told Angelo Cataldi and the 94WIP Morning Show on Thursday morning.
"Now, when we sit and watch it a lot of times we think it's moving slow, but decision have to be made. Split-second decisions, right? And it's a tough game. There's a lot of ups and dows and there's a lot of failure you have to deal with, so I don't want to ever forget how hard it was to play the game. And sometimes, as players, we'll say, 'If we had a chance to do that over, we would have done this.' But you don't have a chance to do that in your split-second decisions.
"You try to learn from it, they are teaching moments. Was it a frustrating loss? Yeah, it's as frustrating as some of the losses I've ever had. But our guys bounce back and will bounce back, and we'll learn from it."
The 5-8 Phillies are back in action today at 4pm against the Orioles. You can listen to the game on SportsRadio94WIP.
