Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA
8-11, 4th Place, 4 1/2 games behind the Braves
8-11, 4th Place, 4 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies continued to play uncompetitive baseball in this 9-0 loss to the first place Braves.
What It Means: The Phillies stink right now, and they own the worst run differential in the National League with a -34 mark.
What Happened: Taijuan Walker's first inning woes continued. He allowed two first inning runs and seven runs overall in four painfully long innings. The bullpen contained things a little, but the Phillies couldn't muster any offense, managing six hits overall and going 0 for 4 with runners in scoring position. Bryce Harper had three of those hits, including a triple.
Featured Card: The Phillies have lost three consecutive games at home by at least six or more runs for the first time since the awful 1989 season. That happened May 16th, 17th and 19th in 13-5 and 6-0 losses to the Giants, followed by a 8-2 loss to the Padres. Mike Schmidt would announce his retirement on May 29th, and blockbuster trades would follow in June, shipping out Chris James, Steve Bedroscian and Juan Samuel and bringing in John Kruk, Terry Mulholland and Lenny Dykstra, among others. Maybe a blockbuster trade is what the 2026 Phillies need now?

Ken Howell was battered in the second game in that 1989 streak, allowing six runs on five hits and four walks over four innings of work.
