GDT 5/19/18 Philadelphia Phillies (Eflin) @ St. Louis Cardinals (Gant)

[LoneStarPhan]

Potential double play ball that ends the inning is thrown away going to second by Santana. Get no outs.

Hit ties game. Error just cost them 3 runs.

Again, Phillies sloppy play does in the starting pitcher. That error really hurt.

[LoneStarPhan]

Only one earned run of the three scored by the Cardinals and that is with assuming only one out was lost by the error. They might have turned two had the throw been good. Also, an apparent DP was reduced to one out on the overturned call at first earlier in the inning. Eflin didn't get any breaks that inning.
