After the Phillies’ offense came to life late on Friday night, they were lively early on Saturday. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to sustain that scoring, and the Brewers overcame a 3-0 deficit to beat the Phillies 5-3.
The game started off well enough. Back-to-back doubles by Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos scored a run in the first inning, and in the second, Jean Segura drove in a run with a single, and Castellanos plated another with a sacrifice fly.
Last year, with Zack Wheeler on the mound, a 3-0 lead felt secure. But this isn’t 2021, and Wheeler still hasn’t completely worked his way into shape after a delayed start to his Spring Training.
