One year ago on this exact date, the New York Mets came to Philadelphia to take on the then 42-69 last-place Phillies. It was the start of a four-game series (the Phils would lose three of four) and the Phillies were crawling their way to the finish line. The opener was horrific. Vince Velasquez lasted just one inning and the team was blown out 10-0.
The only silver lining was the debut of Rhys Hoskins, except things did not start too pretty for Hoskins either. After going 0-for-2 with a strikeout and a walk in his debut, Hoskins wrapped up the four game home stand an unpromising 1-for-13, striking out four times and leaving 12 men on base.
