Our Phillies blog, The Good Phight, highlighted the truly awful night from Placido Polanco.
Placido Polanco was arguably responsible for the first three Mets runs, failing to handle a Jose Reyes infield single in the first that led to a 1-0 Mets lead after Jason Bay’s RBI double, then botching a double-play ball in the bottom of the seventh that would have ended the inning, a batter before Reyes hit a broken-bat double to left that plated two more and ended Cole Hamels’ night. Polanco also hit into the first of the three double plays to kill a first-and-third, one out threat in the third, and struck out with a runner on to end the eighth.
Polanco finished 0-3 on the night with an error.
