Kyle Schwarber drove in all three of the Philadelphia Phillies’ runs as the team lost to the Boston Red Sox 9-3 Thursday night.
Phillies starter Aaron Nola (8-3) delivered his worst outing since his first start of the season.
Tanner Houck allowed three runs in six strong innings and Tyler O’Neill hit a three-run homer to help the Boston Red Sox get the win.
The Philadelphia Phillies enjoyed a clean bill of health in Spring Training and the early part of this season, something they were not afforded last year.
That really got them out of the blocks slow, one of the main reasons why there were completely out of the division race before it seemingly started in 2023.
Being able to have their full roster littered with star players, the Phillies showed how good of a team they are this season, dominating seemingly everyone in their path as they look like they will cruise to an NL East title and could own the top seed in the playoffs.
However, the injury bug they avoided early has now come back to bite them.
Trea Turner has been out an extended period of time with his hamstring strain.
He initially said he expected to be on the shelf for roughly six weeks, which would have put him back with the team for their London Series that took place this past weekend.
