Such a shame.
On a night where the Phillies finally found a nice pair of roles for two of their young starters, the bullpen reared its ugly head to destroy a game for the team. Spencer Howard wasn’t all that great, but he was ably supported by Bailey Falter for 6 innings, leading the Phillies to a 4-2 lead headed into the seventh.
Let’s first set the scene.
The first inning had a moment where we all thought the game was going to go poorly. Odubel Herrera led off with a double, then went to third on a fly ball.
