The Philadelphia Phillies have been slumping of late, held scoreless in the first two games of their series against the Houston Astros. Entering play on Thursday, the team hadn't scored in its last 19 innings.
They were again held scoreless for much of Thursday's game, failing to get anything going against Houston's ace Hunter Brown before finally getting a run across the plate in the eighth inning. Their streak had extended to 26 consecutive scoreless innings before they broke through courtesy of a Brandon Marsh sacrifice fly in the eighth inning.
