The pinch runner Rojas got picked off in the eighth inning of a tie game, and things got worse from there for the Phillies, who have lost three of four to open the season.
Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto tags out the Reds’ Jonathan India at home for a double play to end the first inning on Monday.Rojas took his turn on the bench Monday night in the Phillies’ outfield rotation after starting — and going hitless — in the season’s first three games. But the young center fielder entered as a pinch-runner at second base in the eighth inning of a tie game against the Reds.
Harper came to the plate as the tying run in the 10th inning and swung through a 93 mph fastball from Antone to end the game. He finished 0-for-5 with two strikeouts. He’s 0-for-11 with five whiffs overall. Brogdon said he has worried about his mechanics while he’s on the mound. It has messed with his confidence, and it’s unclear, even to him, how quickly he can get it back.
