On Sunday, in the Phillies’ 13-1 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks at Citizens Bank Park, things stopped going right.
On Saturday, Phillies interim manager Rob Thomson said that when a team is winning, things just seem to go right. Nick Castellanos will drive in a run with a check-swing double. First-time second baseman Matt Vierling will have six ground balls hit to him, and will field them all with ease.
One out later, a ground ball was hit right at starter Ranger Suárez, who tried to get the force at the plate, but catcher J.T. Realmuto missed it. Two runners scored. Those defensive miscues set the tone for the rest of the game, which put many of the Phillies’ shortcomings on full display. After throwing 40 pitches in the first inning, Suárez bounced back in the second, third and fourth, allowing a walk and two hits. But he ran into more trouble in the fifth, and was pulled with one out. He finished his day at 4 ⅓ innings pitched, allowing four hits, four runs, two earned runs, four walks, with two strikeouts. He threw 88 pitches and 53 strikes.
