PHI 10, MIA 0; Max Meyer Debut Spoiled by Putrid Offense, Bullpen
Miami, FL—The Max Meyer debut was not ideal.
Not that it was his fault, for the most part. The 23-year-old pitcher out of the University of Minnesota was credited with five runs allowed, but two of them were inherited runners that reliever Richard Bleier allowed to score. He has allowed 10 of his 18 inherited base runners to score this year.
Meyer’s two problem innings were the fourth and sixth. All five runs and five of seven hits he allowed were during those two innings.
