Game 153 - Thursday Night, September 19th in Flushing
Record - 91-62, 1st Place, 6 games ahead of the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Taijuan Walker suffered though his latest poor outing, and the Phillies couldn't overcome an early deficit in this 10-6 loss.
What It Means: The Phillies will have to wait another day to clinch a postseason berth, and hopefully they get back on track tonight with Christopher Sanchez on the mound.
What Happened: Walker's final line was rough - 3 1/3 innings pitched, 6 hits, 8 runs, 3 walks, a hit batter and a 4 home runs. His ERA went up to 6.91, putting him with some inauspicious company in terms of all-time worst seasons from a Phillies' starting pitcher. The Phillies' offense tried to battle back, but the hole dug by Walker was too large to climb out of. Trea Turner hit a two-run home run in the third and Bryce Harper had a two-run double in the seventh.
Featured Card: Adam Eaton's name comes up a lot when talking about rough outings from a fifth starter in the midst of a Phillies pennant race. Eaton was 10-10 with a 6.29 ERA in 30 starts for the 2007 Phillies, and 4-8 with a 5.80 ERA in 21 games for the 2008 Phillies.

ReplyDeleteHmm, I wonder what happened to those 2008 Phillies.
