The Phillies haven't yet pushed the panic button, but an 8-1 loss to the Yankees and an 0-4 start to the season is not what anyone, least of all themselves, expected this season.
NEW YORK — Brandon Marsh stayed there, down on his hands and knees, facing third base, for a few extra seconds. He removed his helmet and leaned on it as he got to his feet. He shook his head and looked up at the sky.Marsh made two costly blunders Monday night — one in the field and the other on the bases — in an 8-1 trouncing by the Yankees. They weren’t the sole reasons thelost again — for the fourth time in as many games — on their season-opening road trip from hell.
It paled in comparison, though, to his gaffe on the bases, a momentum swing that changed the entire game. So, rather than having runners on first and third with two out for Nick Castellanos, the Phillies’ rally fizzled. And the Yankees answered in the bottom of the fifth with LeMahieu’s leadoff single against Walker and Anthony Rizzo’s two-run homer against reliever Yunior Marté to break open the game.
But Walker also threw 33 pitches in the first inning. At one point, Marté began to loosen in the bullpen. With reliever-turned-starter Matt Strahm limited to about 65 pitches, according to Thomson, Tuesday night, the Phillies needed Walker to get into the middle innings.
