Against the Mets’ bullpen, the Phillies showed a little bit of life, scoring a pair of runs in both the sixth and seventh inning.
With the score 8-1 and his pitch count high, Scherzer was removed from the game in the sixth inning. The Phillies did manage to score a run in the fourth, but after starting out with runners on first and third, a single run was a disappointing result. They loaded the bases against Max Scherzer with one out in the first, but Scherzer was able to work out of the jam unscathed. And while the Phillies did eventually score six runs on Wednesday, there were plenty of opportunities to do much greater damage. We all knew that the Phillies’ middle relief wasn’t going to be a team strength, but the thought was that the offense would hopefully be able to overcome their shortcomings. Pete Alonso’s three-run home run off of Conor Brogdon in the sixth inning put the game out of reach for a Phillies’ offense that hasn’t been doing much scoring recently. Unlike Monday night, when Nick Nelson helped keep the Phillies in the game, on Wednesday, they allowed the Mets to blow things open. The Phillies have had to lean on their middle relief a lot recently, and over the course of a season, that’s not going to be a successful formula. The following inning, he walked a batter, and hit two others, and with two more runs across, Nola’s day was over. He did it again! /uwkFHRmFy6- New York Mets April 13, 2022
