Can it get any uglier? I sure hope not. Well, at least Bryce Harper showed up, Two massive homers, the first one went 456 feet and the second becomes the longest National League dinger of the season, sailing 468 feet. Harper also had a beautiful throw to nail C.J. Cron on what appeared to be a sure run.
Now for the rest. The Rockies would go on to score the next 12 runs to cruise to a 12-2 defeat of the visitors from the East. Chase Anderson struggled but got through three innings then the roof caved in on him. 2 singles, a sac bunt, sac fly, and a walk. But, with the pitcher’s spot coming up, it seemed that Anderson would escape a huge inning.
Wrong though as Jon Gray banged a single and turned the lineup. Anderson was finally yanked two batters later but not before he posted these numbers, 3 and 2/3 innings, 6 hits, 6 runs, 3 walks, and 2 strikeouts. David Hale would enter and promptly gave up a grand slam to Story. Hale’s numbers were even worse. 1/3 inning, 2 hits, only charged with one earned due to the inherited bases loaded, and a walk.
Spencer Howard took overthrowing two innings, giving up 4 hits, 3 earned runs, a walk but striking out 4. Bailey Falter made his Major League debut and threw two innings, giving up 4 hits, 2 runs, and 2 strikeouts. This is one everyone would like to forget except the Harper part. Can it get any uglier? Only time will tell. For more Phillies coverage please click here.
