Phillies miss out on multiple opportunities, suffer first home loss of 2019 season

Final: Twins 6, Phillies 2

If the Philadelphia Phillies miss out on the National League East crown or a National League Wild Card spot by a game or two in 2019, their April 6 loss to the Minnesota Twins will be one that they look back at and shake their heads. Here’s a look back at the Phillies first loss at Citizens Bank Park in 2019:

Jake Arrieta set the Twins down in order in both the first and second innings. The 33-year-old righty ran into trouble in the top of the third, however.

Twins center fielder Byron Buxton laced a one-out single into left field, before stealing second base.
