When a team is going bad, the littlest mistakes almost always turn into big problems.
Take the first inning today against the Rockies. Zach Eflin got the first out and then Randal Grichuk hit a ball between first and second. Rhys Hoskins dove for the ball when he probably should have let it go and headed to cover first.
That forced Eflin to cover first, and Jean Segura's throw was wide and Grichuk was safe. Raise your hand if you knew this would end up biting the Phillies in the butt. Because it did.
Kris Bryant was next and singled, with Grichuk moving to second. Eflin got CJ Cron swinging for the second out. Ryan McMahon crushed the first pitch he saw to deep right for a double and the both runs scored. Now the offensively challenged Phillies have to find a way to come back.
