Final Score: Brewers 1, Phillies 0
Sunday evening’s matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers started with an on-field birthday party for the most popular mascot in sports. It ended with the Phillies being struck out 16 times, and fans (among others) at Citizens Bank Park making clear how upset they were with the performance of home-plate umpire Ángel Hernández.
What should be noted here is that Hernández — who is in his 31st season as an MLB umpire — had about as bad of a night as you possibly can behind the plate.
