Phillies suffer worst shutout loss in modern era to Mets
Jake Thompson faced the issues that a 22-year old starter in his 10th career appearance usually does Sunday against the Mets. Thompson struggled with his command at times, walking the bases loaded in the fourth inning before escaping his self-induced jam with a flyout. The righty departed after four innings in what manager Pete Mackanin declared postgame to be Thompson’s last start of the season.
