Every team loses games like this but that doesn't make me happy. Two walk off loses to Mets' home runs in the series. The Mets are not a good team, but deGrom is a great pitcher. Phillies split the series and move on to the one game in Baltimore and then the three games in Miami. I hope we can win 3 of the 4 going into the break.
Positives tonight have to be the pitching, which shut out the Mets for 9 innings holding them to 2 hits. Very positive to see Velasquez come back from the DL and pitch a strong 6 innings. I thought Leiter got the strikeout on Reyes but those check swings have always mystified me. I have seen less called a strike. Still, Reyes is hitting .168 and should never have been walked. Missing on 3 fast balls and starting off the count in the hole 2-0 cost Leiter in the end.
Record is now 51-40.
