The Phillies got what they needed from the combination of pitchers Dylan Covey and Matt Strahm on Tuesday night but the lineup was lackluster again in a 4-3 loss. CSeidmanNBCS of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
"I don't like the mindset of, 'Oh, it's early, it's May.' You play this game with urgency."
The Diamondbacks immediately seized the lead again from Seranthony Dominguez, who allowed a double, walk and RBI single to the only three hitters he faced in the top of the eighth. Gregory Soto came in to put out the fire but Arizona was able to maintain its one-run lead. But Turner is not the only struggling Phillie. Bryson Stott has hit .205 over his last 20 games. Stott has seen the most 0-2 counts in the National League this season and Turner ranks second .
