Game 154 - Wednesday Night, September 28th in Chicago
Record - 83-71, 3rd Place, 14 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: In one of the more frustrating losses of the year, Aaron Nola made one bad pitch and the Phillies offense went 2 for 16 with runners in scoring position in this 4-2 loss to the Cubs.
What It Means: The Phillies can't seem to escape experiencing a September collapse.
What Happened: Nola was cruising until allowing a three-run home run to Christopher Morel in the fifth. The game was essentially over at that point. Bryce Harper managed to drive in a pair of runs with a sacrifice fly and a ground out, but the rest of the offense failed miserably in the many opportunities available throughout this ballgame. 12 runners were left on base, as the Phillies line-up had 10 strikeouts and 11 hits, including 10 singles.
Featured Card: With the Brewers within closing distance of the National League's third Wild Card, old friend JoJo Romero wasn't doing the Phillies any favors. Romero, now pitching with the Cardinals, allowed three runs without retiring a batter in the decisive eighth inning against the Brewers. The Brewers would defeat the Cardinals, 5-1, and creep closer to the Phillies in the standings.
