One Sentence Summary: The Phillies wasted another solid start from Cristopher Sanchez, dropping this series opening game against the Giants by a 3-1 score.
What It Means: The team's troubles at Oracle Park continue. Through this game, they were 3-17 in their last 20 games at the ballpark, and it wouldn't get any better on Tuesday.
What Happened: Sanchez allowed a run on seven hits while striking out eight in his seven innings of work. Orion Kerkering took the loss, allowing the Giants to score twice in the bottom of the eighth, breaking a 1-1 tie. The Phillies scored their only run in the fifth when Bryson Stott came home on a wild pitch. The offense had six hits and was a combined 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position.
Featured Card: Nine players born in Italy have appeared in the major leagues, including former Phillies farmhand Sam Aldegheri, now with the Angels. The Phillies dealt Aldegheri, born in Verona, to the Angels last season for reliever Carlos Estevez. Given we just returned from a wonderful 10-day trip to Italy, and with no other logical choice for this post, here's one of Aldegheri's minor league cards.
