Aaron Nola struggled in the middle innings again and the Phillies committed another baserunning mistake at the wrong time in an 8-4 loss to the Marlins. CSeidmanNBCS of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
The Marlins went on to pick up additional insurance with a seventh-inning run off of Connor Brogdon and three more in the eighth against Andrew Bellatti, but it could have been a different game if the inning extended after Stott's knock."It's just not a very good play by myself," he said."I think we had all the momentum there when I got back-picked at first. Who knows what would've happened after that, if they would've scored four more runs or not.
Manager Rob Thomson changed the lineup, moving Stott from leadoff to eighth against Luzardo because of how difficult Luzardo has been against lefties. Thomson said Stott will be back atop the order Wednesday against right-hander Daniel Cabrera. Stott, for what it's worth, has hit .293 vs. lefties in his big-league career, more than 50 points higher than his batting average against right-handers.
"Earlier in my career when I was hitting more at the top of the lineup, I wasn't thinking about walking or chasing or things like that, I was taking more aggressive swings," he said."But I'm in a spot where the game has to come to me more. It's just an adjustment I have to make but I'll figure it out."
