Phillies blow 7-run lead in ugly loss to Diamondbacks

Final Score: Diamondbacks 13, Phillies 7

Shield your eyes from this one.

The Phillies had a 7-0 lead heading into the bottom of the fourth. Heck, starter Ranger Suárez didn’t even allow a hit the first time through the order.

Then things got ugly in a hurry. The Diamondbacks scored six runs each in the fourth and fifth innings. The offense did next to nothing against the Arizona bullpen and the end result was the ugliest pitching performance of the season for the Phillies.

After getting the first batter in the fourth to ground out, Suárez allowed the next four batters to reach base safely.
