During the Phillies’ nine-game winning streak, the bullpen still had its share of shaky outings. The difference was that the offense was able to compensate for those failings. On Tuesday night, the extreme awfulness of the bullpen - combined with some poor defense - could not be compensated for. The result was an 11-9 loss to the Miami Marlins.
The game started off poorly when Zach Eflin allowed two home runs in the first inning, spotting the Marlins a quick 4-0 lead.
The offense looked like it might strike back quickly, loading the bases in the bottom of the inning.
