Phillies Nation Perfect Season: Bullpen strong, Peter Bourjos notches game winner against Mets

For the first time since 1979, a Phillies pitcher hit eighth. Oddly enough, the man who occupied the nine-hole during the 5-4 extra-innings victory over the Mets won it for the Phillies. With two runners in scoring position with two outs and an 0-2 count, Peter Bourjos hit a sharp ground ball to David Wright at third. Wright was unable to throw the speedy Bourjos out at first and with Freddy Galvis scoring from third, the Phillies clinched a 5-5 record on their season-long ten-game homestand.

The walk-off win could not have been possible without a stellar effort from the bullpen. Héctor Neris, Dalier Hinojosa and Jeanmar Gómez combined for six and two thirds innings of shutout ball.
