The Phillies (9-6) just can’t get it going at the plate. They have been shut out twice in the last three games, dropping the finale against the Cardinals (7-8) in St. Louis 7-0. It’s the first time since August 2022 that the Phillies were held scoreless twice in a single series. They had opportunities early against St. Louis starter Matthew Liberatore, but couldn’t cash in.

The Phillies tried to sign Kyle Schwarber to an extension in the offseason, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. With the way he is swinging the bat early — and the stunning lack of top free agents in next year’s class — the Phillies could regret not closing the deal. Schwarber is batting .288 with six home runs, 12 RBIs and a 1.114 OPS through his first 64 plate appearances. It’s early, but Schwarber is building on adjustments from last year that made him a more well-rounded hitter.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson made a bold lineup change prior to Friday’s game. He moved Bryson Stott to the leadoff spot and batted Kyle Schwarber cleanup behind Bryce Harper. The thinking behind it is to better protect Harper, who was intentionally walked twice in Thursday’s loss to the Atlanta Braves. It did not lead to a better result. The Phillies (8-5) managed only three hits and were shut out for the first time this season in a 2-0 loss to the Cardinals (6-7) in St. Louis.

The Phillies pitching staff surrendered only one run through ten innings. It wasn’t enough to win the series as the Braves were able to get the timely hits late in a 4-2 win in 11 innings. In a game that started at 7:15 p.m. and ended at 12:53 a.m. thanks to a nearly three-hour long rain delay, the Phillies bats left 13 men on base and went 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position. Nick Castellanos, who moved up to the cleanup spot, went 0-for-5 with five strikeouts.
