GDT 5/26/19 Philadelphia Phillies (Eflin) @ Milwaukee Brewers (Woodruff)

[LoneStarPhan]

Enyel De Los Santos faces 3 in a scoreless inning. Hopefully a confidence builder.

Looks like the road trip will end up 4-3 with a series split in Chicago and a series win in Milwaukee. Not a bad result for a swing to play two tough teams.

I do have concerns about finding a role for Velasquez and we don't know what to expect from Pivetta on Tuesday. Phillies need to be able to win two from St. Louis in the brief home stand.

Bernie the Brewer may have to go on the IL after today’s workout

[LoneStarPhan]

If the bot doesn't return, not much missed. Phillies go 1-2-3 in the ninth and end the day with one hit, the homer by Knapp. They managed to strike out 12 times. Final score: 9-1.

Not our day. Time to enjoy the day off, the holiday tomorrow and time to reflect on the meaning of the holiday. Wishing everyone here a good Memorial Day.

[allentown]

Harper falls below .800 OPS. He really needs to get it going again for this team to succeed. Sorry to see a clunker from Eflin. He had been looking like promise turned to really good performance -- just one game, but. Hard to sweep a good team, especially on the road. A really inauspicious start for VV, the reliever.

Bad game. Good road trip, though. Team's in first place. A heck of a lot more positives here than negatives.

[bkeich]

I was going to comment before the game that they really need to upgrade backup catcher, and I still think that is true, but he did get the only hit
