Phillies drop series finale vs. Cardinals, Marsh exits in 8th inning with hamstring injury

The Phillies dropped their series finale against the Cardinals in extra innings Sunday night, 5-4. They now sit at 41-19 on the season. It's the first time since April 27 that they don't hold the most wins in MLB.Big picture, one loss isn't the end of the world. The concern does shift to Brandon Marsh, who abruptly exited the game in the eighth inning after rounding second base. He grabbed at his leg and called for the trainers immediately.

With Marsh on first with a lead off walk in the second inning, Nick Castellanos grounded into what is typically a routine double play ball. Cardinals shortstop Winn bobbled on the transfer but the force out on Marsh was initially called. Phillies manager Rob Thomson challenged the call and the replay revealed Winn did not have possession of the ball when tagging second.

Walker allowed another two-run home run. This time, he let one hang right over the plate to Alec Burleson, putting the Cardinals ahead once again. This marks Walker's second game this season where he allowed two home runs. He's given up eight total.The first two pitches in the fifth, Stubbs and Rojas bunted to get on base. The third pitch tacked on a Kyle Schwarber single and, very quickly, the Phillies had the bases loaded with no one out and Bryson Stott at the plate.
