All spring long, Phils starter Jake Arietta said he was healthy. Injuries had kept him from his Cy Young form of a few years ago. After what happened today, you have to wonder if he's still hurting. Arietta allowed 10 baserunners in 5.1 innings–7 hits and 3 walks, leading to 4 runs.
Rhys Hoskins finally got his first hit of the season, an RBI triple. JT Realmuto also got his first hit of the season. Miami scored three runs in the bottom of the third and the Phils tied it right up with three in the top of the fourth. Miami regained the lead in the bottom of the 6th, and the Phils tied it again in the top of the 7th.
Bright spots for the Phils included Jay Bruce's second homer of the season, and Adam Haseley and Scott Kingery both picking up two hits.
In other NL East action, Arizona beat Atlanta, 8-4, and the Nationals downed the Mets, 5-1. The Phillies are already 1.5 games out of first behind the Nationals.
