The Philadelphia Phillies lost their fourth straight game on Saturday and they did so thanks to an embarrassing error that just shouldn't be committed by a professional baseball team.
In case you missed it, second baseman Bryson Stott, center fielder Brandon Marsh and right fielder Nick Castellanos failed to communicate on an easy pop up to short right and let the ball drop to the ground.
Guardians infielder Amed Rosario was on the move with two outs and was able to score all the way from first base on the play. That ended up being the only run of the game, as Cleveland won at home, 1-0.

Poor Wheeler, who should be out of the inning, now gets charged with an earned run and very possibly the L considering our offense is dead at the moment https://t.co/YNNNTNw73A
Are the Phils trying to out-Met the Mets? https://t.co/vg1Ajnqclo
