Daily News | Mountain of miscues cost Phillies in 7-6 loss to Pittsburgh Pirates
PITTSBURGH — Even as he conceded that the time had come to drop struggling Trea Turner out of the No. 2 spot in the“Our best lineup,” Thomson said, “is when [Turner] is hitting and he’s hitting in the two spot.”, and, with two out and the tying and go-ahead runs on base in the eighth inning, whiffed on a nasty, low-and-away curveball to punctuate an 0-for-5, three-strikeout game in a 7-6 loss to the Pirates at sold-out PNC Park.
The Pirates needed a shutdown inning after cutting the margin to 4-3 in the fifth. Bryce Harper helped them get it. Harper got thrown out easily at second base trying to stretch a single. After clearing the bases for the Phillies with a double in the fourth inning, Brandon Marsh helped the Pirates to do the same. He was unable to knock down Henry Davis’ sinking line drive to center field. It was scored a three-run triple to give the Pirates a 6-4 lead. It should’ve been a single and an error.
The Phillies rallied to get within one run in the eighth inning. After Turner, batting in the No. 7 spot, singled and Marsh walked, Johan Rojas chopped an RBI single to left field against tough Pirates closer David Bednar.
