Daily News | Phillies’ lead slips away twice in 7-5 loss to Kansas City Royals
But Philadelphia is still a bottom-line sports town. And the bottom line, after a 7-5 loss to a Royals team that is 36-75 and on pace to drop 109 games, is that none of the Phillies stars is doing nearly enough.
It’s Aaron Nola, who coughed up a pair of two-run leads by giving up two more home runs. In 23 starts, he has allowed 26 long balls, most among National League pitchers and one shy of his single-season career-high.It’s even Bryce Harper, batting .290 and reaching base at a .383 clip but stuck on five home runs. He came to the plate as the tying run in the ninth inning and grounded into a game-ending double play.Imagine if their stars were starring.
On came reliever Yunior Marte, who allowed a game-tying RBI double to Freddy Fermin and a two-run single to Dairon Blanco, turning the cheers for Turner into boos for the rest of the team.
