Odubel Herrera's blunders prove costly for Phillies | Extra Innings

Half of the Phillies’ six losses this season have come at SunTrust Park, and the latest one was just as disturbing as the previous two during the season-opening series against the Atlanta Braves. This time, it was the return of the blunderous world of Odubel Herrera that contributed most to the end of the Phillies’ six-game winning streak.

Herrera, after hitting a home run in the first inning, appeared to have hit a double with one out in the third inning, but instead was thrown out at second base by right fielder Nick Markakis because he failed to slide.
