Listen, the streak was going to end eventually. The Phillies were not going to win out the rest of the season. Sunday, getaway day, after a long trip on the West coast made the most sense to chalk up a loss.
Still, losing to a guy who is most famous for creating some kind of ignition switch with gum, a paper clip and knowhow is frustrating.
The Phillies came into this one with one of their best pitchers on the “mound” in Sacramento. Jesus Luzardo has been so, so good for the Phillies this year, but you know who else has been good?
