Phils’ Road Woes Continue, Lose 4-1
Stephen Strasburg struck out seven, holding the Phillies to one earned run, giving the Phillies their sixth loss in seven road games.
Bats Silent, Again
The Phillies mustered just seven hits with just two walks in nine innings, scoring their lone run on a Freddy Galvis single that scored Odubel Herrera. Herrera and Cesar Hernandez had the only extra base hits of the game for the Phillies each hitting a double. Every Phillies starter other than Jeff Francoeur had a hit but saw their team average dropped to an MLB-worst .213. The Phillies .213 average would be 12 points lower than the 1888 Quakers’ franchise low and 19 point lower than the 1942 Phillies.
