Daily News | Phillies’ Rhys Hoskins: Misplay that changed Game 2 is ‘play I’ve made before and I’ll make again’
ATLANTA — Rhys Hoskins found Zack Wheeler on Wednesday night, telling him that the play that changed the course of the game — and maybe even the series — was his fault. No, Wheeler said, the blame belonged to him.of the National League Division Series led to the series being sent back to Philadelphia tied at one game apiece.
It skidded past his glove and into right field, allowing the game’s first run to score and keeping alive an inning that would end with the Phils in a three-run hole.The inning started with Wheeler retiring the first two batters before he plunked Ronald Acuña Jr. in the right elbow. The game was delayed while Acuña was treated by the medical staff, but Wheeler said the pause did not knock him off his rhythm. He had retired 17 of the 18 batters he faced before hitting Acuña.
Hoskins led all first basemen this season with 12 errors and had the second-lowest Outs Above Average among National League first basemen who played at least 700 innings. The Phillies struggled to field a grounder on Wednesday while Atlanta made a pair of terrific catches, showing the importance of clean defense in October.
“I feel like I’ve had pretty good at-bats so far,” Hoskins said. “I feel like I’m getting pitched pretty tough, too. But that’s what happens in the postseason. I always say this, the hardest thing is getting to the box. If you can just continue to get in the box with some confidence you have a pretty good chance for something good to happen. So, continue to try to swing at strikes and be ready for them when they come.
