The Phillies lost the second half of the doubleheader 11-4 at the hands of the Mets. Michael Plassmeyer was tagged for 10 runs (9 earned) in just 3.2 innings of work as the Phillies look to preserve their pitching for next week’s Wild Card series.
What happened
Francisco Alvarez broke an 0-23 streak with a pair of long home runs, the first a two-run shot in the first and the second a grand slam in the third. Both came off of Plassmeyer, who gave up three total home runs. Plassmeyer had a nightmare third inning in which he hit three batters and gave up five runs.
