Seems like many of the Phillies' losses have been hard fought, close games where they were in it all the way until they lost it. I think that is a good sign.
So close tonight. Had it going into the bottom of the ninth. Had a great chance to add insurance in the ninth and failed. Outstanding start again from Arrieta, who joins Nola in pitching strong games and not getting a win.
We were due for a loss but I didn't think it would be tonight when they took the lead to the ninth. A win to start a series and to start a road trip is always a great way to start. Now they just have to come back and win tomorrow and Wednesday to win this series.
Record now 63-49.
