Phillies rookie starter Jerad Eickhoff enjoyed another solid effort on Monday against the Mets. The young right-hander allowed three runs on four hits in seven solid innings. He walked two and struck our four, as the Phillies went on to lose 3-1.
Eickhoff (1-2, 2.84 ERA) kept the Mets off the scoreboard through the first four innings. But he made a couple of mistakes in the fifth--a solo home run to Michael Conforto and a two-run shot to Curtis Granderson--the led to his demise.
This was Eickhoff's third start of his young career, and he has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his outings.
