Baseball, it has been said many times, is a game of adjustments, and the young Phillies definitely felt a need to adjust after Tuesday night’s 8-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks at rain-soaked Citizens Bank Park. For starters, it was a major adjustment just to lose at home. The defeat ended the Phillies’ seven-game home winning streak and denied the team of a 10-1 start, which would have been the best in franchise history. Instead, they must share that distinction with the 1964 team and, trust me, that’s the only distinction they’ll want to share with Gene Mauch’s Phillies unless Jake Arrieta is going to pitch a perfect game on Father’s Day.
