The Phillies lost this game before an out was ever recorded because the upper-bound on their scoring these days is 2. Or, in maths, the integral from 0 to 27 of ƒ(Phillies)d(Hitter) ≤ 2. Whether the lower-bound is zero remains to be deduced.
The Phillies came into today's get-away day game having lost 6 consecutively. Hope to end the streak was diminished well before the first pitch:
If the Phillies win with this lineup I will give each of my followers 10,00 dollars https://t.co/ynqWSYbyVi

The Phillies broadcast promised to show beautiful shots from around the city throughout the game.
