Wilson gets a raw deal that at bat. The called strike was really not a strike.

Obviously, these games in New York are not must win games for the Phillies, but I stilll want to see a series win. I definitely want to see one win to give the Phillies a winning road record for the season.

The roster shuffling provides a means for the Phillies to fill out the innings in this series without laying waste to the pitching staff going into the post season. Walker has settled down and has now gone five innings. Not sure if he goes back for the sixth or not. He is at 80 pitches, which is probably enough for today.

[zambonir]

90 wins and a winning road record would be nice. It would be very hard for that to not happen, though I suppose the next two starting pitchers might give it a go! I'm hoping one of them pitches a gem. They are both auditioning for their next jobs, wherever that may be.

Any 4th starter is functionally a bullpen game, and if it was Walker starting or after an opener I would expect Sanchez ready for second time through the order. But having the “starter” be Walker allows you to use Sanchez in the bullpen for other games.

At least JT saved us from the embarrassment of being no hit.

[LoneStarPhan]

Phillies force 8 pitches in the top of the sixth.

Final third of the game will be the breakout innings for the Phillies' offense.

Walker back out for the sixth. Walker has bounced back after that first inning. In fairness, he got in trouble because several ground balls were just in the right place. Maybe he gets a post season start and comes through with the win.
