Things are getting BAD. BAD… BAD. Rays 2, Phillies 0

The Philadelphia Phillies missed an opportunity to secure a postseason position on Friday evening, dropping a two-run decision to the Tampa Bay Rays at Citizens Bank Park. Tampa Bay pitcher Freddy Peralta limited the home side to four hits over five-plus frames to halt the potential playoff clincher.

Frustrated supporters expressed their displeasure after Trea Turner dropped his helmet in the third frame and Brandon Marsh recorded an unsuccessful swing in the fourth. The defeat leaves Philadelphia holding a narrow two-game edge over Arizona in the National League wild-card race with three matchups remaining on the regular-season schedule.
