Featured Card: This stat courtesy of @BoopStats . . . With this loss, the Phillies dropped a season low 16 games under .500. The last time they were that many games under .500 was October 1, 2000, when they wrapped up the 2000 season 32 games under .500. The losing pitcher on that day for the Phillies was the immortal Amaury Telemaco.
It would be nice to have someone as good as Amaury Telemaco on this team.
