Postgame

Missed badly — Detroit's offense erupted for 10 runs and the Phillies never got untracked.

Pregame

We took the Phillies at plus money on the moneyline and got burned — Detroit's lineup teed off late and never looked back. Nola's strong peripherals coming in didn't matter once the Tigers broke through in the 6th, and Philadelphia's offense couldn't answer.

Detroit came in with the healthier lineup card despite a rotation ravaged by injury all year, and the Tigers' bats made the difference where it counted. Philadelphia, meanwhile, was already without Adolis Garcia and Johan Rojas for the long haul and had to piece together its outfield picture with Justin Crawford banged up.

The Phillies still boast the better overall record and sit in a playoff spot, but a five-game losing skid earlier in the week against Kansas City exposed some cracks. Detroit smells blood — at 43-50 they're still under .500, but the vibes in that clubhouse are night-and-day from a month ago.

Nola had strung together a strong final line against the Royals his last time out, 7 innings and 7 strikeouts with no walks, but Detroit's lineup didn't respect his track record for long. The Tigers scratched across 2 in the third and let the floodgates open from there.

The 6th inning was the whole ballgame — Detroit dropped 5 runs in that frame alone, then tacked on 3 more in the 7th to turn a workable Phillies deficit into a rout. Philadelphia managed just 4 hits and never threatened a real rally, going down with an error to boot.

This is who the Tigers have been for the better part of two weeks now — six straight wins, no signs of slowing down heading toward the break. The Phillies need to shake this one off fast; the NL East race doesn't wait for a bad week in Detroit.
