The Phillies made way too many mistakes to win their weekend series, even against a team playing as poorly as the Pirates.
A lot happened Sunday. Before the late-game gaffes, many were curious why Cristopher Sanchez was pulled after five hitless, scoreless innings on just 73 pitches. When he was removed, Seranthony Dominguez gave up a single and two-run homer to the first two hitters he faced and the game was tied."I had a little stomach ache going on, I didn't feel like I had too much energy today," Sanchez said."I told that I could go back out but he wanted to take care of me.
That decision affected the rest of the game. Dominguez gave up the lead in the sixth, which required Jeff Hoffman to enter. Gregory Soto had the seventh, which meant Marte was the best option left for the eighth. Matt Strahm had pitched two innings the prior night and Craig Kimbrel was being saved for the ninth.
"He had done his job. He wasn't exactly sharp. I know he didn't allow a hit, but he hit three guys, walks, he wasn't as sharp as he normally was. He wasn't going to get a no-hitter, he was going to run out of pitches.Sanchez has the lowest WHIP in all of Major League Baseball since being recalled from Triple A on June 17. He has a 2.30 ERA in those eight starts with 36 strikeouts and just six walks in 43 innings.
Harper and Turner expressed frustration postgame with the way the weekend went. The Phillies should have at least won the series and could have swept. They were on the board first Sunday with a two-run home run from Bohm. Harper put them ahead again with an RBI single in the seventh and Bohm followed with one of his own. Seven of the last eight runs Harper has driven in have either tied the game or given the Phillies a lead.
