Monday night at Yankee Stadium, the Phils were out-executed in all phases by the home team in an 8-1 loss. CSeidmanNBCS of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
The shakiness started immediately Monday night when DJ LeMahieu sent a low line drive to center field to lead off the bottom of the first inning. Brandon Marsh was caught in between and decided at the last second to try to catch it rather than field it on a hop. The ball went under his glove and all the way to the wall in center for a little-league triple.
Walker did limit the damage to those two runs but the Yankees extended their lead on Gleyber Torres' solo home run in the third and Anthony Rizzo's two-run blast to the second deck in right field in the fifth. "First inning, adrenaline was up, I was kind of all over the place, but after that, I calmed down," he said."Was trying to be too cute in that first inning instead of attacking them. But the two-seamer was working well against righties and the rest of the way was good. Kind of settled in, but it just sucks I had to throw so many pitches in the first."
"You don't want to start 0-4, that's for sure," Thomson said."But if we lost four in a row in July, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. Everybody's frustrated but we keep working. It's a resilient group, it's the same group as last year for the most part, so I expect them to come out tomorrow, prepare and go compete."
