Daily News | Frustrated Phillies lose Rob Thomson, Bryce Harper to ejection, then lose to Rockies, 4-0
DENVER — At first, it seemed like Sunday would be a normal, relatively unexciting, game. Aaron Nola struggled in the first inning, partly thanks to some defensive blunders in the Phillies’ infield, and the Rockies jumped to an early 2-0 lead. But in the top of the sixth, tensions began to mount, en route to a 4-0 Phillies loss.
Nick Castellanos reached second base on a throwing error, to put a runner on with one out for Kyle Schwarber. Schwarber worked Kyle Freeland to a 3-2 count, and took a sinker out of the zone. He thought it was ball four, but home plate umpire Ryan Wills called it a strike. Schwarber argued with Wills, and then manager Rob Thomson got involved. He enthusiastically disputed the call and was ejected by Wills. It was the first time Thomson has been ejected since he took over as Phillies’ manager last year.
An inning later, Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh both reached base with back-to-back to walks off of Rockies reliever Jake Bird. Edmundo Sosa grounded into a double play, but it looked like Marsh was safe at second, because Harold Castro’s foot didn’t seem to touch the bag. Bench coach Mike Calitri, who was serving as interim manager in Thomson’s absence, tried to challenge the call at second, but the umpires wouldn’t let him.
Officiating aside, it was a frustrating day for the Phillies. They made two errors in the field — a throwing error from Trea Turner in the first inning, and a fielding error from Edmundo Sosa in the second inning. Nola wasn’t his sharpest, allowing four earned runs on six hits with one walk and four strikeouts. The Phillies struck out 11 times against the Rockies’ pitching staff, managed just seven hits and squandered any opportunities they had to score runs.
