All good things must come to an end. The Phillies dropped their first game of the season in a loss to the New York Mets on Tuesday night.
Chase Anderson did a decent enough job for a fifth starter. In five innings, he only allowed two runs and struck out three. Vince Velasquez then came in and started off hot. Vinny Velo struck out the side in 1-2-3 fashion to kick off his 2021 season. However, he quickly fell back to reality and gave Phillies’ fans the full VV experience– four strikeouts and no hits allowed, but four earned runs and four walks.
