David Buchanan pitched 4.1 innings today, giving up 7 earned runs on 8 hits, and one strikeout. Things didn’t go right for the young Buchanan early on in the game, where he gave up four hits in a row to the lead off batters of the Cardinals lineup. David gave up two singles and two doubles to start the Cardinals off with a 3-0 lead after the first inning.
The Phillies offense put up a fight and started to work their way back to an even game after an RBI by Odubel Herrera in the top of the 2nd inning.
