Daily News | Phillies can’t complete comeback against Astros, losing 4-3
HOUSTON — In the seventh inning on Sunday, Trea Turner was presented with an opportunity. The Phillies were down by two runs. There were two outs, with runners on first and second. He swung at the first pitch, a four-seam fastball at the top of the zone. He missed. He swung at the second pitch, a four-seam fastball in the upper right corner. He missed. He swung at the third pitch, a four-seam fastball outside of the zone, and he missed. So much for that threat.
Dave Dombrowski signed Turner for myriad of reasons, but one of them was consistency. He is a career .300 hitter. Manager Rob Thomson talked to Turner on Saturday night. He asked his shortstop if he’d like to take a day off. Turner said he preferred to work his way out of it. Thomson said after Sunday’s game that he noticed Turner’s timing was off, and Turner agreed. But after a few days of feeling his swing wasn’t right, he feels he is improving in that area, which he sees as a reason for optimism.
