Game 43 - Wednesday Night, May 19th in Philadelphia
Record - 22-21, 2nd Place, 1 game behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Andrew Knapp ended this game on what was nearly a three-run, walk-off home run but it was not to be as the Phillies fell, 3-1.
What It Means: They'll go for the series win tonight and then open up a home weekend series against the first place Red Sox.
What Happened: Zach Eflin allowed only two runs in his six innings of work, but that was too high an amount for the Phillies offense to overcome. Playing once again with a short bench, the Phillies went 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position and grounded into three double plays. Rhys Hoskins and Ronald Torreyes both had multi-hit games.
In the bottom of the ninth, with two runners on and two outs, Knapp flew out to the warning track in what might have been a huge game-winning home run.
Featured Card: Andrew McCutchen hit his seventh home run of the season in the sixth off Marlins' pitcher Trevor Rogers, and it was also the 250th of his career. He joins only Mike Trout as one of two active players with at least 250 home runs and 150 stolen bases. (H/t to schmenkman.)
