Final Score: Mets 2, Phillies 0
Tuesday was another quiet night for the Phillies offense. The lineup ran into tough pitching, but five hits in nine innings and an 0-for-7 performance with runners in scoring position is not a winning formula.
Outside of the five-run outburst in the eighth inning of Monday’s game, the Phillies offense has looked flat since Saturday. It’s too early to sound the alarm and declare this a concerning trend, but it’s disappointing considering that the Phillies got great pitching performances out of Zack Wheeler and Cristopher Sánchez.
