Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game was loaded with Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies had six representatives on the National League team, tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the most in the game.
All of them played, too, thanks to some skillful managing by Dave Roberts, who did his best to satisfy the Philadelphia fans at Citizens Bank Park.
Unfortunately for the NL, the Phillies players didn't perform very well in the Midsummer Classic, doing more harm than good in the NL's 4-0 defeat.
Cristopher Sanchez started for the NL and took the loss, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks in the first inning. The NL never recovered.
Jesus Luzardo and Jhoan Duran both pitched well in relief, combining for 1 2/3 scoreless innings. However, it was already too late.
The NL didn't get any run support as its lineup was stifled by the American League. Bryce Harper, Brandon Marsh and Home Run Derby runner-up Kyle Schwarber went a combined 0-for-5 with four strikeouts.
In the end, it just wasn't the NL's night, especially for Philadelphia's stars.
