Miami Marlins' Jake Burger reacts to scoring on the single by Jonah Bride during the first inning of a baseball game against the Philadelphia Phillies , Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2024, in Philadelphia. OK, so it wasn’t only Walker. Hardly. He set the discordant tone Tuesday night with a 33-pitch first-inning grind-a-thon in his first start in 53 days. But thereturned from 10 games on the West Coast and looked listless from the top of their $260 million roster to the bottom.
The Phillies no longer have the best record even in the National League. And although the division lead is still 6 1/2 games over the Braves, the Phillies are jockeying with the Dodgers and Brewers to merely finish with a top-two record in the NL and get the accompanying first-round bye. Walker was rusty at the outset, walking Jake Burger and Jesús Sánchez before allowing an RBI single to Jonah Bride and a two-out RBI single to Otto Lopez. Both hits came on sinkers, a pitch that Walker used often as an offset to his signature splitter.
