Not much has broken the Phillies way this season. From far too many of their hard-hit balls being caught to the Angel Hernandez follies, the Phillies haven’t had many games where things have gone in their favor. That was not the case on Monday night as a series of mistakes by the Colorado Rockies handed the Phillies a relatively easy 8-2 victory.
After one pitch, it certainly didn’t seem like it was going to be the Phillies’ night.
When the Phillies loaded the bases - partly due to the first Rockies error on the night - and then didn’t score in the bottom of the inning, it felt like they were headed for another night of frustration.
