The biggest news in baseball this week was the tragic death of the Marlins young ace Jose Fernandez. The loss was felt throughout the baseball world as each MLB team honored Fernandez’s memory with a moment of silence on Sunday.
The Phillies finished the week with a 3-3 record, taking both games of their short series against the White Sox and dropping two of three against the Wild Card leading Mets.
The Phils pitching was readful this week. The bullpen struggled mightily, and the team lost to the Mets in historically bad fashion on Sunday when they were shut out 17-0.
