Daily News | Phillies collapse in seven-run ninth, drop series opener against Mets
Leaving the game Phillies Nick Castellanos was hit by a pitch from Mets pitcher Chasen Shreve during the 6th inning at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Thursday, May 5, 2022 Mets come from behind to beat the Phillies 8-7.The forecast is calling for rain Friday. But on a clear, cool Thursday night, the sky fell on the Phillies.
Even then, it strained credulity. Consider this: Phillies manager Joe Girardi, who managed a Game 7 loss in the 2017 American League Championship Series that preceded his firing by the New York Yankees, called it “about as hard [a loss] as I’ve been through.” According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the fifth time ever that the Phillies lost when leading by at least six runs in the ninth inning or later. The Phillies have existed for 139 years. It happened only one other time in the last 85 years: May 10, 1994, against the Atlanta Braves.
“I see where Segy is,” Knebel said. “That ball doesn’t hit me, it’s right at him. The ball doesn’t bounce far away, we’ve got two outs, go from there. It’s just how the game works sometimes. [S—] happens.” “What are you going to do? It’s over with. Move on tomorrow,” Schwarber said. “When we got no-hit, it was just a loss. Tonight’s a loss. You’ve got to move on to the next day.”
