Brad Lidge Wearing Out His Welcome in the 9th

Tonight’s headline is not about a Phillies closer blowing another lead. Wednesday was Clippard’s turn to come into a game in the late innings with the score tied and give up two long balls to the first two batters he faced.   The Phillies are back on track.
