An ill-advised throw by Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Brandon Marsh in the 3rd inning allowed the San Francisco Giants to score an extra run, it would prove to be the deciding run as the Phils fell to the Giants 4-3.
Phillies starter Zack Wheeler allowed four earned runs to score over six innings of work on Tuesday night. While Wheeler wasn’t at his best he was not helped by another subpar outing by Philadelphia defenders.
San Francisco starter Alex Cobb only lasted 3-⅓ innings, he allowed two earned runs and walked five Philadelphia batters. Giants’ reliever Taylor Rogers got the win in relief, throwing one scoreless inning and striking out two.
The story of the night for the Phillies was once again the lack of clutch hitting with runners in scoring position. The Phillies were 1-for-11 with RISP on the game and had multiple opportunities to take advantage of Giants pitching.
