If you were awake until the end of this game, I’m not sure whether to congratulate you or suggest you seek help.

The Phillies entered the ninth inning Tuesday night with a 5-4 lead, before Jonathan Papelbon allowed a home run to Buster Posey to tie the game and force extra innings.

From there, this one became a marathon, with the Giants finally jumping all over Jeff Manship in the 14th inning on their way to a 9-6 victory over the Phillies.

Things started off relatively well for the Phillies offense on Tuesday, as they responded to a first inning run by the Giants with two runs of their own in the bottom of the frame to take the lead.

The Giants would tie things up in the second before taking a 3-2 lead in the fifth on a home run by former Phillies Hunter Pence, but that lead would be short-lived.

The Phillies put up three runs in the bottom of the fifth, including a two-run home run by Jimmy Rollins, as they regained the lead.

The Giants would pull within one in the seventh inning before knotting the game at 5-5 in the ninth and giving Jonathan Papelbon his third blown save of the season.

After that, the Phillies would be unable to find much offense in extra innings, as they fell to the Giants 9-6 in 14 innings.
