Game 46 - Tuesday Night, May 22nd in Philadelphia
Record - 27-19, 2nd place, 1 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Once again the Phillies couldn't solve Brandon McCarthy as the Braves won this game 3-1.
What It Means: What's going on with Rhys Hoskins? He's not had a multi-hit game since April 27th and his average has dipped down to .237. In his last 21 games, since that multi-hit game, he's hitting .128 (10 for 78) with 31 strikeouts.
What Happened: The Phillies offense managed 7 hits against McCarthy and four Braves relievers. Vince Velasquez struck out 9 in his 4 1/3 innings of work. He loaded the bases in the fourth with no outs only to wriggle out of trouble by striking out the side.
Featured Card: Had the Phillies won this game, they would have held sole possession of first place at the latest point in the season since 2011. Back on May 22, 2011, the Phils lost to Matt Harrison and the Rangers but Roy Oswalt pitched well, allowing a run on eight hits over seven innings of work. The Phils stood at 28-18 following that game, with the Marlins 1 1/2 games behind them in the division.
