 In the carnage yesterday, Michael Mercado, the rookie right-hander, got the loss. He gave up five runs on five hits in an inning in two-thirds. Whit Merrifield got two of the team's five hits. That's the Phillies, of course. The Phillies have lost three of five. They're still first in the National League East with a record of 58-32. In the minors, the Blue Rocks start action again tomorrow night. They host the Brooklyn Cyclones at Frawley Stadium.
