Phillies' offense continues its disappearing act in third loss in four days originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Phillies had the guy they wanted on the mound Friday night, but so, too, did the Cincinnati Reds.
Right-hander Tyler Mahle became the Reds’ first 10-game winner this season when he out-pitched Phillies ace Zack Wheeler in front of 26,074 at Citizens Bank Park.
The Phillies’ 6-1 loss put them in jeopardy of losing their lead in the National League East, depending on how the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves fared.
