Well it was a good story but I think the Phillips experiment is over.

Second inning in a row that first two get on, but the next three only put one ball in play (out of six hitters) and that one in play is the double play.

I sense a night of frustration.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Ball (91.8 mph sinker)
In play, no out (86.5 mph changeup)

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singles on a sharp ground ball to center fielder Johan Rojas.

Forfeit? I mean, is there any point to the next 7 innings?

Chris Bassitt 2.0 3 1 1 1 4 1 35-24 4.28

To be fair, Banks has 4 outs. 3 K and only 2 H.

Time for the incredible comeback.

Ten hits in two innings but a couple were not really well hit. Phillies down 5 runs but that is not an impossible deficit. Not likely that they comeback tonight, but not out of the question.

Walker has to be used tonight. They need to save the primary relievers unless the game gets close.

Granted Banks is pretty low on the totem pole with Ruiz having done so well but I think Rob is still managing to come back right now. Alvarado also looking poised to get the rust off in a lower-leverage spot.

Ball (72.6 mph curveball)
Foul (92.7 mph sinker)
In play, run(s) (93.5 mph sinker)
