The Phillies overcame a pair of two-run deficits Sunday night, but couldn't push the tying run across at third base in the 10th inning.Oh, they tried. In their inimitable way, they overcame a pair of two-run deficits Sunday night, even tying the game on a rally started by, of all things, back-to-back bunts that traveled a total of 31 feet. And once again, a jam-packed crowd rocked Citizens Bank Park before a national television audience.
Making his seventh start since missing the season’s first month with an injured shoulder, Walker allowed two-run homers to Nolan Gorman in the first inning and Alec Burleson in the third. He struggled with his command, gave up a lot of hard contact, and exited after throwing 93 pitches in five innings.There’s little doubt, then, that the veteran righty is the weak link in the National League’s best rotation. But he’s also a No. 5 starter.
Unlike most teams, the Phillies have another option. Spencer Turnbull had a 1.67 ERA in a half-dozen starts while Walker was sidelined and could step back in. But Turnbull might be needed to fill in forSuárez and Walker are lined up to start Saturday and Sunday in London. Most likely, the Phillies will kick the can down the road with Walker for another few starts, even though he isn’t doing much to strengthen his case.
