⚾⚾PHILLIES: “We need to win some ball games against some of these better teams,” Wheeler said, absorbing his second loss in less than a week to the New York Mets. “We’ve got to swing it a little better. We’ve got to pitch better.”
Added to the roster as the extra man for Saturday’s double dip, Falter enjoyed the best start of his young big-league career. He pitched six innings of one-run ball to help the Phillies win, 4-1, and salvage a split with the Mets in front of a big and loud crowd of 39,374 at Citizens Bank Park.
Yes, it was imperative that Falter give his club some innings because the bullpen was short-handed for the nightcap. The Phils used three relievers in the opener and closer Seranthony Dominguez was not available in either game due to triceps tightness.The victory enabled the Phillies to stay at least a game up on San Diego for the second wild-card spot in the National League. It was just the Phillies’ fifth win in 18 games against the Mets this season.
“At the end of the day, we’ve been playing well,” Wheeler said after the first game. “It has been against lesser teams but those are the games you’re supposed to win, and we have been winning those and you need to win those games to get to where we want to be, and we all know that. We know what type of team we are, and we need to keep pushing.
