Phillies pitcher Jacob Diekman took the loss Monday after giving up four earned runs on two hits and two walks in the ninth inning of his team's 9-6 defeat at the hands of the Braves.
Diekman (1-1) was handed a 6-5 lead to begin the ninth, and while he did strike out three batters in the frame, he also surrendered a game-sealing grand slam to Dan Uggla. Both teams decided to rest their closers in this game, and the bullpens went on to give up 12 runs in the eighth and ninth inning combined. Diekman owns a 8.59 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB ratio in 7 1/3 innings.
