NEW YORK — The “Beefy Boys.”
The “Broad Street Bombers.”
Whatever you want to call the Phillies’ talented and expensive offense that has underperformed at times this season, was no-hit by the rival New York Mets on Friday at Citi Field. They are now 10-11. Kyle Schwarber was the only bright spot for the Phillies. He walked three times, stole a base and made an excellent diving stop in left field.
It marked the 21st time in Phillies history the team was no-hit. The Dodgers’ Josh Beckett plowed through Phillies hitters on a random Sunday afternoon in May nearly eight years ago.
