One Sentence Summary: Andre Pallante and two Cardinals' relievers held the Phillies to three singles in this quiet 2-0 defeat.
What It Means: In a complete reverse of parts of last season, the only Phillies consistently hitting at this point are Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos. Max Kepler (.220), Alec Bohm (.151) and Brandon Marsh (.125) are mired in lengthy slumps.
What Happened: Provided with no run support, Aaron Nola dropped to 0-3 but did not allow any home runs. The Cardianls scored their first run in the fifth inning when Thomas Saggese singled and came home on a Yohel Pozo double. Nola then walked the second run of the game home, issuing a bases loaded free pass to Alec Burleson. The Phillies offense was 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position.
Featured Card: Yikes. The game only took 2:17 to play, but I still turned it off early in frustration and given a busy weekend schedule ahead. Connected to a successful college visit on Saturday by our family, here's a card of Villanova University alum and former Phillie player Gene Schall. Excited that Schall and our oldest son will soon share the same alma mater. Go Cats!
