Phil Gosselin hit a weak stinger of a line drive that found a big hole on the right side of the infield to give the Phillies a one-run lead.Īfter that, it looked like Hart caught a huge break thanks to his defense, as he gave up a fly ball out to center field. He did get a big first out on a fly ball to right field that was too shallow to score the run, but then the BABIP gods got the best of him. After that, Hart was trying to paint the edges of the zone but found himself missing, issuing two straight walks to load up the bases with nobody out.
