Published

MILWAUKEE -- The Philadelphia Phillies needed a big performance from their bullpen after Jerad Eickhoff struggled.

Vince Velasquez and company delivered.

Five relievers combined for six scoreless innings and Andrew McCutchen hit a tiebreaking double to help Philadelphia beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-4 on Friday night, overcoming Christian Yelich's major league-leading 20th homer.




"Our bullpen was really good tonight," manager Gabe Kapler said. "As good as they've been all year and through a lineup like this."
