NEW YORK — Starter Cristopher Sánchez left the dugout in the bottom of the fourth with a 3-0 lead and no hits allowed. He came back and pounded a trash can after allowing three runs in an eventual 13-3 loss to the New York Mets.
Sánchez, who allowed five earned runs across 5 2/3 innings, was not at his sharpest, but he wasn’t the only one. The Phillies stranded six runners on base through the first four innings and went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position against Mets starter Kodai Senga. The Phillies also went hitless with one walk in five innings against the Mets bullpen.
