In 2020, having the starting pitcher forced from the game in the fourth inning would have been a death knell for the Phillies. The bullpen was barely capable of delivering one quality inning in a game, let alone 5.2 of them. But thanks to newcomers like Brandon Kintzler, Sam Coonrod, and Jose Alvarado, the Phillies were able to minimize the damage on Monday night, setting up a 5-3 comeback win over the Mets.
After the team received a trio of strong starts over the weekend, Matt Moore made his debut in red pinstripes. He held the Mets scoreless for the first three innings, but began the fourth by walking two batters.
