The west coast has not been kind so far this week to the Phillies and today continued that trend. Getting solid offense from Jean Segura and Bryson Stott was simply not enough as the defense and relief pitching, the two things that were predicted to be the worst parts of the team, let them down.
Noah Syndergaard started for the Phillies and got himself into trouble almost immediately, allowing a leadoff double to Lamonte Wade, Jr. to begin the Giants’ day. After getting the next batter to pop out, Thairo Estrada hit a little dribbler that Syndergaard fielded.
