Daily News | Phillies fall again, 4-3, as Cubs sweep series
This has been an abysmal three games for the Phillies. A week ago, they completed a sweep of the Marlins in Miami, something they hadn’t done since 2010. It was a series so impactful that it left fans and media wondering if this team was truly different.
The usual culprit — the Phillies’ offense — cost them in their 4-3 loss on Sunday afternoon. They out-hit the Cubs, with nine hits, but only drove in three runs. The hitters who did drive in runs were mostly players at the bottom of the lineup, with the exception of an RBI single from Rhys Hoskins in the sixth inning. Over their last seven games, the Phillies are batting .200/.269/.337 as a team, which ranks seventh worst in the National League.
In all, Falter pitched five innings, allowing five hits, four earned runs, two walks and three home runs with five strikeouts. He has a 5.06 ERA over his last six starts . He has been filling in for Zach Eflin, who has been on the injured list with a right knee bruise since June 28 but with Eflin’s timetable uncertain, it would behoove the Phillies to prioritize starting pitching ahead of the trade deadline on Aug. 2.
