Phillies' mission: 'Balance present and future'
After Friday's loss to the Giants, Jerad Eickhoff is 0-6 with a 5.13 ERA. (AP)PHILADELPHIA -- June opened like May finished for the Phillies.
They lost Friday night to the Giants at Citizens Bank Park, 10-0. Phillies right-hander Jerad Eickhoff walked a career-high five batters in just 2 2/3 innings as the Phillies walked Giants pitcher Ty Blach three times, making him the first pitcher to walk three times in a game since Colorado's Aaron Cook in 2009 and the first pitcher the Phillies walked three times in a game since 1936.
"Tonight it was like, 'What's going on?'" Phillies catcher Cameron Rupp said about Eickhoff's struggles, although he could have been talking about the team as a whole.
