Game 38 - Thursday Afternoon, May 19th in Philadelphia
Record - 18-20, 2nd Place, 7 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Yu Darvish and two Padres relievers baffled the Phillies offense in this 2-0 loss.
What It Means: The Phillies and Padres traded shutouts in this three-game series, with the Phillies coming out on the short end. They're seven games out of first place and the Dodgers come to town Friday night for a weekend series.
What Happened: The Phillies offense had eight hits - all singles - and went 0 for 4 with runners in scoring position. Darvish went seven solid innings for the Padres, allowing six hits and striking out five. Kyle Gibson was the recipient of the Phillies' lethargic offense, and he gave up a pair of runs in his 5 2/3 innings of work. Gibson struck out seven.
Featured Card: I've got nothing. The Phillies offense, which should be hitting a lot of home runs, doesn't seem to be able to even string together a few extra base hits at home. Bryce Harper missed his second straight game after getting an injection in his right elbow to hopefully manage that injury. Here's a fantastic vintage card of former Padres and Phillies great Sixto Lezcano.
