One Sentence Summary: The Phillies chipped away at an early 4-0 deficit, but came away a run short in this 5-4 loss in Miami.
What It Means: Having won two out of three, they'll come home for a crucial four-game series with the Mets beginning on Monday night.
What Happened: Taijuan Walker was in trouble early, throwing a ton of pitches in the first inning and allowing the Marlins to stake a 4-0 lead. He settled down after that, pitching five scoreless innings. The Phillies' offense chipped away as best they could, but the Marlins' bullpen prevailed. Nick Castellanos drove in a run with an RBI-triple in the second inning. Two more runs scored in the sixth on a Trea Turner solo home run and an RBI-single from the red-hot Brandon Marsh. Kyle Schwarber drove in the team's fourth and final run with a single to right in the ninth. With runners at the corners and two outs, Bryce Harper grounded to second to end the game.
Featured Card: The loss was the second worse news from this game. In the top of the seventh, Trea Turner injured his hamstring running out a grounder to first, immediately leaving the game. He'll likely miss time, and Phillies fans are collectively holding our breath that it's not more than a few weeks.
