The Phillies came into this game in a recent scuffle with a combination of bullpen issues, defensive mistakes, and failing to hit with runners in scoring position. They started the season at 6-1 but have gone 4-7 since.
Cristopher Sánchez took the mound and ran into issues after two early strikeouts. Heliot Ramos smoked a double to left center field, then Matt Chapman took a sinker the other way to make it 1-0.
