Citi Field is haunted by a spectral pitch. Kodai Senga calls it the ghost fork, and it’s a mystery. The Phillies didn’t have Bryce Harper due to a scheduled rest day, but they did have exactly what you need to solve a mystery: a cadre of meddling kids and a dog (although Major probably doesn’t go on the road). It is unclear if they traveled to Queens in a 70’s van.
Bryson Stott battled valiantly as the first batter, but struck out on the seventh pitch, the first victim of the ghost fork. Trea Turner flew out, and Nick Castellanos grounded out.
