Atlanta bullpen thrasher

The Philadelphia Phillies broke out of some kind of funk on Wednesday, exploding for eight runs against four different Braves relievers in the home half of the eighth to salvage a 12-11 win. Atlanta sent four pitchers to the mound in the inning, and three of them suffered multiple earned runs.

The chronology of the seventh inning collapse:

• O’Flaherty starts the inning for the Braves with a 10-3 lead and gives up a one-out single to Utley, then hits Howard with a slider in his back.

• Moylan replaces O’Flaherty, walks Jayson Werth to load the bases, then yields RBI singles by Raul Ibanez and Pedro Feliz before a four-pitch walk to Matt Stairs to bring in another run.

• Boyer replaces Moylan with bases still loaded, walks Chris Coste on five pitches to bring in one run, walks Jimmy Rollins on four pitches.

• Jorge Campillo replaces Moylan, bases still loaded, and gives up a Shane Victorino RBI single, then a five-pitch Utley walk that brings in the tying run. Howard’s RBI groundout drives in eighth run, Phillies lead 11-10.

Campillo, the only pitcher to yield less than two runs, gets a blown save. At least he retired more than one batter, something the other three relievers couldn't do combined.
