ATLANTA — Just when you think the Phillies exhausted all possible ways of coughing up a lead, you look up and see the center fielder chasing after a throw from the catcher that got by not one, not two, but three defenders and rolled nearly to the warning track.The news definitely wasn’t good Wednesday night. It wasn’t only that the Phillies fell yet again to the Ronald Acuña Jr.-less Atlanta Braves, 8-4, for their seventh loss in 10 games.
“It looked like Segy was trying to be quick with the tag,” manager Joe Girardi said. “They work on that all the time. And it looked like Odúbel just peeked up.” But two days after Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski remarked that “our defense hasn’t cost us,” a key miscue was their undoing.
“I’ve never seen that play before — in the big leagues,” Realmuto said. “It’s hard to understand why those plays are happening to us right now. But we’ve got to right the ship and get things to start going in our direction.”Like fellow starter Kyle Gibson one night earlier, Suárez was hurt by two-strike hits, particularly in a four-run second inning.
