The Phillies finally had a starter take them deep into a game they led, setting up the bullpen formula they wanted. It didn't matter as they lost to the Marlins to drop a series and fall to 4-8 on the season. CSeidmanNBCS of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
The Phillies couldn't push the tying run across in their half of the 10th. Cristian Pache popped out, Bryson Stott struck out looking and Trea Turner flied out to shallow left to end the game.
Earlier in the afternoon, Zack Wheeler delivered the Phils' best start of the season, holding the Marlins to one run on three hits over six innings with six strikeouts. It was only the second time this season a Phillies starter has completed six innings. They entered the day ranked dead-last in the National League, averaging 4.85 innings per start.
While he escaped the fifth unscathed, the extra pitches may have cost him an entire inning, which again had a ripple effect on the bullpen. The Phillies used Alvarado, Seranthony Dominguez, Gregory Soto and Craig Kimbrel. Soto and Kimbrel will likely be unavailable Thursday in Cincinnati. The Phillies took the lead in the bottom of the fifth when Stott doubled in Kody Clemens. Stott led off Wednesday for the second time in three games. He hit eighth Tuesday against lefty Jesus Luzardo. It will be interesting to see whether he remains low in the lineup or is back up top Thursday when the Phillies face lefty Nick Lodolo for the second time in a week. Thomson has made it sound this week like Stott will lead off against righties until he gives the Phillies a reason to make a change.
