Final Score: Phillies 4, Mariners 2
At this point in the season, already 7 1/2 games back of the Mets in the division at the start of the day, the Phillies need to start racking up W’s, and they were able to do that on Wednesday afternoon in Seattle.
For the second straight game, the Phillies fell victim to a questionable decision by the umpires. After a lengthy review, the original call of the runner being safe stood, and two batters later, Julio Rodríguez singled to left field to give Seattle a 1-0 lead.
Alec Bohm singled to lead off the fourth, and Bryce Harper walked to bring up Nick Castellanos with two on and nobody out.
