One Sentence Summary: Ceddane Rafaela's pinch-hit, two-run home run in the sixth off Orion Kerkering sunk the Phillies in this 3-1 loss.
What It Means: The Phillies would look to take the series on Thursday night with Jesus Luzardo on the mound, facing old friend Ranger Suarez.
What Happened: Andrew Painter had a promising start, allowing a solo home run and four hits overall in his five-inning outing. Painter struck out four. The only offense from the Phillies came from Justin Crawford, who just bounced a home run off the top of the center field wall to tie the game at 1-1 in the third. Rafaela hit his blast in the sixth, and the Phillies couldn't string together any offense to overcome the deficit. Other the Crawford's home run, the offense had two singles the entire night.
Featured Card: We've only visited Fenway Park once, back in 2014, and watching the entirety of this three-game series on TV made me realize it's likely time for a return trip soon. Here's Chase Utley in front of the Green Monster on one of his many 2011 Topps cards featuring him in Fenway.
