[LoneStarPhan]

Had Pham picked off by a mile. Another gift out the Phillies fail to accept.

Pretty sloppy play tonight. They are clearly playing like a team picking #1 in the next June draft.

Word on Alfaro is that his removal is just cautionary.

[kikutaro]

Martínez, Jo

In play, run(s) (83.4 mph slider)

Jose Martinez homers (5) on a fly ball to center field. Matt Carpenter scores.

Marcell Ozuna walks.

[LoneStarPhan]

Hutchison making the case for being sent back to the minors. He is becoming more likely to pass through waivers and maybe will accept an outright to the minors. Not sure what the rules are on that.

As bad as this looks tonight, this is the first game in a long while that the Phillies were beaten like this. They have been playing really good baseball over the past few weeks, Neris blown saves excepted.

Arrieta had two wins snatched from him by Neris and now tonight is clearly set up for a loss.
