It was a night of mistakes for the Phillies, falling 5-2 to the Pirates, putting a damper on the City Connect jersey debut.
Scene 1. The Pirates had runners on first and third with two outs in the fourth. Connor Joe hit a sharp grounder to the shortstop hole. Trea Turner was there. But just before he was able to complete the play that would end the inning, he tripped. Or slipped on an invisible banana peel. Or something. Regardless, he went down, the ball went through, Pittsburgh had a gift run.
The loss dropped the Phillies back to .500 after Thursday’s win put them a game over for the first time this season.“Any time you play a game like that you’re not going to win, right?” Bryce Harper said. “We battled to the end but when you start a game like that it’s really tough to come back.”Harper came into play shouldering an 0-for-18 slump with just two extra base hits since his three-homer game on April 2. He singled his first time up.
It wasn’t just bad juju that doomed the Phillies, either, Starter Cristopher Sanchez threw the ball well, but walked three in the second inning, uncorked a wild pitch and made a fielding error. He was fortunate that the Pirates were only able to turn that into a single unearned run. He also had to pitch around his own throwing error in the third.
