Neither team scored in innings six through eight despite several opportunities and base runners left on base.

However, it was in the ninth inning that everything changed dramatically for both sides. The Phillies exploded offensively with six hits leading to six runs against Colorado's bullpen which struggled significantly under pressure. This late surge turned what seemed like a close contest into an insurmountable lead for Philadelphia.
