Rich Hill’s outing Sunday was short, as the New York Mets could not afford baserunners against the Philadelphia Phillies. The veteran southpaw pitched 4 2/3 innings, giving up six hits, two earned runs, and one walk with seven strikeouts, bringing his ERA to 3.87 on the season.

Hill started his day out with two quick outs in the first inning, including a strikeout of Jean Segura. Following the strikeout, he gave up a walk to Bryce Harper, followed by an RBI double to J.T. Realmuto to deep center to give the Phillies an early 1-0 lead over the Mets in the first. A strikeout of Andrew McCutchen ended the inning.

The 41-year-old pitched well in the second, giving up just one hit and collecting his third strikeout of the day. The third inning had a similar feel. He gave up a one-out single to Segura before collecting two big strikeouts of Harper and Realmuto, settling in and getting to hitters who had success against him in their first at-bats. These whiffs gave him five through through just three innings of play.

This trend continued in the fourth, as Hill gave up a one-out single and collected a strikeout. He had not given up a run since the first inning when Realmuto hit an RBI double.

Hill came back out for the fifth but did not finish the frame. He collected a quick strikeout of Kyle Gibson (his seventh of the night) before things began to unravel. Freddy Galvis singled and Segura immediately doubled to put two on with one out for Philadelphia. After a mound visit, Harper hit a sacrifice fly to center that scored Galvis to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead.

That was all for Hill as manager Luis Rojas went to the Mets bullpen and brought in Jeurys Familia to finish out the fifth inning for New York.

The Mets went on to defeat Philadelphia 3-2, coming from behind with two runs in the fifth and a run in the seventh. Hill walked away with a no-decision, keeping his record at 6-7 on the season. He’s been as advertised for the Mets the organization acquired him in July. Through 11 games (10 starts) and 53 1/3 innings of work, the lefty has produced a 3.88 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with a 20.7% and 5.3% walk rate, which is good for 0.9 fWAR.
