Adam Morgan is both lucky and unlucky at once. Chase Utley continues to melt hearts. The Phillies don't hit with runners on base.
Since the All-Star break, the Phillies have scored runs at an uncharacteristic rate, but tonight they featured their more typical, and frankly, expected, offensive futility.
Adam Morgan, since joining the Phillies rotation in late June has basically been what everyone, or at least I, thought David Buchanan would be for the Phillies: A prototypical fifth-starter type who doesn't strike a lot of guys out, so lives and dies by the BABIP gods. Some nights very few of the balls he allows to enter play will result in hits and runs; on others, seemingly all of them will.
