One Sentence Summary: An alarming lack of offense, a steady rain and a bomb of a two-run home from Marcell Ozuna off Joe Ross sent the Phillies to a 4-2 defeat.
What It Means: After losing two of three in Atlanta, the Phillies next head to St. Louis for a weekend series.
What Happened: The Phillies scored single runs in the third and 11th innings. Kyle Schwarber hit his sixth home run of the year in the third, tying the game at 1-1. Jesus Luzardo turned in another strong performance, allowing a run on six hits while striking out six in his six innings of work. A nearly three-hour rain delay interrupted the game before the seventh inning. When the game resumed, Carlos Hernandez, Jordan Romano, Matt Strahm and Tanner Banks threw four scoreless innings in relief.
