One Sentence Summary: The Phillies rolled over easily in this 5-2 defeat to the Brewers, getting swept at home for the first time this season.
What It Means: With Bryce Harper missing his fifth straight game due to a bruised elbow, the Phillies' line-up had trouble piecing together meaningful hits. They'll head to Toronto next to try to end their four-game losing streak.
What Happened: Ranger Suarez had a solid outing, allowing two runs (one earned) in six innings, before yielding to the bullpen. In the seventh, with the Phillies holding a 2-1 lead, Caleb Durbin doubled to left on a ball that should have been caught by Weston Wilson. Orion Kerkering relieved Suarez, walked a batter, but recorded the first two outs of the inning. With runners on the corners, Trea Turner booted a ground ball hit by William Contreras, allowing the Brewers to tie the score and prolong the inning. Pinch-hitter Jake Bauers then doubled to right, scoring two more unearned runs for the Brewers.
Featured Card: The Phillies gave the Brewers five outs in the seventh, with Turner's gaffe the ultimate heart-breaker.
Transaction: In a much-need bullpen shake-up, Jose Ruiz (rhp) was designated for assignment and Seth Johnson (rhp) was recalled from the IronPigs. Ruiz had an 8.16 ERA in 16 appearance and 14 1/3 innings pitched so far this season. To date, he's not appeared on any Phillies baseball cards.
