DENVER - Aaron Altherr crashed face first into the left-field wall Monday night at Coors Field, futilely pursuing a fly ball that cleared the fence and hit the face of a Rockies fan that missed the ball with his glove.
The Phillies' once promising season is ending in painful fashion.
Philadelphia lost Monday to the Rockies, 10-1, to fall to 78-78. It is the first time the Phillies have been .500 since April 10, when they were 5-5.
"It's evidence that we haven't played good baseball for quite some time," Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said.
