Daily News | Phillies-Mets game rescheduled due to rain; will be played on Aug. 20
. Per Elias Sports Bureau, it was only the fifth time in the Phillies’ 140-season history that they’ve lost when leading by at least six runs in the ninth inning or later. The feat had happened only one time in the past 85 years.
The Phillies have now lost four straight games. Outfielder Kyle Schwarber said after Thursday’s loss that some time for the team decompress might be useful, and now the Phillies have a full day to reflect, and try to move on.“I mean, it sucked,” Schwarber said. “But what are you going to do? It’s over with. Move on tomorrow. We want to win the game, right? We always want to win the game. We want to win the game every single day. When we got no-hit, it was just a loss. Tonight’s a loss.
“We can’t be deflated. We can’t be down. Anything like that. Let the guys take their 30 minutes, 40 minutes, hour, whatever it is, go home and get some sleep. We’ve got a game tomorrow. We’ve got three more left against these guys. So, we’ve got a chance to win the series still. Just got to take it a day at a time.”
