on the outside corner to herrera at 97. you heard a little frustration out of the mouth of maikel franco when he flied out to right field. you know it's weighing on him. we talked to him for a little bit today and asked how he felt. he said he felt good. he was going into the cage to hit. matt was mixing up the groups today. there's a lot of superstition in

baseball. when he decided that he was going to keep the same groups for batting practice, which was inside, so he was putting together his new list of groups to go up to hit in the cage, which isn't too far from where his locker is. one ball and one strike to herrera. and odubel went around on that. it's 1-2. >> john: i could translate that, but i'd get fired. >> tom: phillies bullpen action.

benoit is warming up. and odubel strikes out. ellis hangs on. two strikeouts in the inning for ellington. no runs, no hits, and one man left. onto the bottom of the eighth inning, the marlins in control by eight. as their youngsters embark on a swell future. all but one, that is. you see, billy thought it'd be "neat" to try taco bell's new boldly seasoned naked chicken chips dipped in a sinful side of nacho cheese sauce. by graduating to these crispy triangles of temptation, the only diploma billy will receive is a master's degree in being hooked. actually it's a bachelors in fine arts. and these things are aweso... what a waste. brought to you by the council for eating fried chicken the same way you always have and not taco bell.

saturday june 17th when the phillies take on the arizona diamondbacks, all children 14 and under will receive the w.b. mason collectible truck. great giveaway. go to phillies.com to check out tickets and get more information. traffic is moving pretty good. >> john: i hope it's moving good when this one's over. headed west. >> tom: well, here is marcell ozuna.

against joaquin benoit. a bouncer to third. comfortable hop for franco. one out. the way the phillies have gone, we mentioned this the other night, these guys that are normally in the games at the end when they're leading, which has been few an far between here in the month of may, have to get some work somehow, so they're in there in these games when they're trailing late. >> tom: neris got an inning last night, benoit is getting one day, off day tomorrow. the bullpen will be ready to dial it up on friday. >> tom: justin bour has two home runs today. first multi home run game of the year. takes a strike. it's 0-1. time now for our cold hard fact brought to you by clean, crisp coors light. and justin bour has moved into a tie with bryce harper and scott

scheffler for the home run lead in the national league with his two home runs today. couple of surprising there. >> john: yeah, but we've been nice to all three. >> tom: very true. very true. outside. it's one ball, one strike. >> john: bryce got a couple, scheffler got a couple. >> tom: very true. >> john: bour got how many? two today. did he hit one yesterday? or was i just dreaming? >> tom: a double yesterday. >> john: oh, yeah, the double. >> tom: that bullet off the fence in right field. he certainly adds a little different dimension to this lineup that already has some pop. man, if he got even a little bit of pitching.

outside. harper has five home runs against the phillies this year. scheffler has the two. and bour's home runs are a w.b. mason delivery of the game. >> john: first one here off pinto, first pitch of the inning. fastball, up out over the plate and then that was an absolute bomb off the jeanmar gomez sinker that stayed in the middle part of the plate. and those were our deliveries of the game.

>> tom: let's hope he keeps a little quiet here in this at-bat. 2-2 to him. up and away. and it's 3-2. by the way, some scoring changes. marcell ozuna has been given an extra hit for his ground ball in the sixth inning instead of an error charged to freddy galvis. and maikel franco has been given a hit on his ball in the sixth inning that was originally scored an error to the shortstop. nothing yet on ball ozuna hit earlier in the game, though. >> john: so the marlins are going to lead the league in fielding percentage and hitting. >> tom: if the pattern goes as is. 3-2 to bour.

cody ross, the last one with three home runs in the game for the marlins. got him. and bour strikes out. second out here in the eighth inning. every time the phillies pitchers retire the opposition 1, 2, 3, comcast will make a contribution to phillies' charities. dietrich today is 1 for 4. that one out toward third. and franco gets a little help

from tommy joseph to throw him out and it's a 1, 2, 3 inning. eight straight retired by the phillies bullpen. on to the ninth inning. phillies down 10-2. how if guests book direct ater, choicehotels.com and stay twice they'll get a $50 gift card?

summertime. badda book. badda boom. got you a shirt! ...i kept the receipt... book now at choicehotels.com our challenges dare us... defy us... and define us. coors light. whatever your mountain, climb on. >> gregg: well, this short three-game road trip is coming to an end. the giants are coming here. ty black will take the ball on

friday night. still waiting word who is pitching for the phils. matt moore on sunday taking on jeremy hellickson. guys, this one is not over yet. >> tom: there is jerad eickhoff. >> john: did he do that from a helicopter? >> gregg: i have left the building. >> tom: how's the view from there? >> gregg: the roof's closed. >> john: at least you got a head start out of here. beat the crowd. >> tom: here is freddie dpal y who is 0 for 3, facing brian ellington.

out to right field. ichiro, he got a late start and it's over his head and a one-hop into the bullpen. a ground rule double for freddy galvis that ends a 0 for 10 stretch. that's his 11th double of the season. well, that was a better swing. >> john: yeah, it's not an overswing. that's where freddy gets himself in trouble a little bit is the overswing. but the balance was good, the head stayed on the ball. i think sometimes freddy gets a little bit long and too quick with that swing, trying to generate power. >> tom: i think that's why -- you would know better than i would, why you see so many foul balls off to the left side when he's batting left-handed, over to the other team's dugout.

>> john: sometimes the harder you try to swing, the slower your bat gets. >> tom: brock stassi up for the first time. 0 balls, one strike to brock. brock with 12 hits in 60 at-bats so far this year. ellington in his second inning today, his third inning in the last two days. he went one plus yesterday.

>> john: big plans for the off day tomorrow? >> tom: not really, no. might do some work around the house, catch up on some things. what about you? >> john: golfing. >> tom: all day? >> john: no. just probably, i don't know, till the kids get out of school. i haven't seen them in a while. >> tom: you have no softball left? >> john: no, we're done. >> tom: 3-2 to stassi. and stassi is down on strikes, for out number one. what about summer softball, no

summer softball? >> john: no. down here? >> tom: a little too hot? >> john: a little warm. i mean they can play it. >> tom: you're just not going to coach it. >> john: no. >> tom: here's cesar, who is 1 for 3. and it's 0-1.

boy, this guy's got a live arm. everything runs toward the outside part of the plate. >> john: you'd have to think he'd have difficulty getting a ball in on a lefty. he might be a guy you could just look away. he's trying to come in here, but can he? >> tom: well, he does. >> john: he does. >> tom: and cesar fights it off. >> john: it's nice, though, you get to fly home this afternoon, you get all day tomorrow. >> tom: phillies are home for just a brief three games and then back to the road after that. atlanta, st. louis and then boston. >> john: should be cool in st. louis and atlanta. usually is this time of year. >> tom: get a chance to see atlanta's new ballpark for the first time. >> john: yeah. >> tom: out of play off to the left. and it remains 1-2.

this weekend the phillies have a night game on friday, day game on saturday and then a concert afterward. sunday the maikel franco batting gloves given out to fans 14 and under. so although it's just three games, there's a lot going on at the ballpark this weekend. 1-2 pitch. to left field and slicing toward the seats. >> john: so the concert is on the second day of the home stand? so you'll get to see them if you want? >> tom: yeah. i will probably stay and just give you a full report as whether you should use them as part of your song list. >> john: yep. >> tom: hopefully the weather is clear.

>> john: well, i'll be watching. >> tom: you know what i'll do, i'll periscope it so you can watch it too. >> john: what's periscope? >> tom: another form of social media. >> john: boy, i look forward to that. >> tom: i guess we'll have to show you how to use it first. it's like facebook live. >> john: well, that narrows it down. >> tom: 1-2 to cesar. way upstairs. 2-2. >> john: tell you what, the crowd's into it. anticipating that third out. >> tom: honestly, these could be the three quietest crowds we've

seen. >> john: the loudest thing we heard was murph in the helicopter, the last thing he did. >> tom: three balls, two strikes. >> john: how do you think larry anderson is handling all that crowd noise? look at that, they got a thing, clap your hands. >> tom: not everybody is partaking in it. >> john: must have been a golf clap. >> tom: another one down the left field line. ozuna will give it a look and he made the catch! i don't know how that one stayed in play and did not hit off the wall down the left field line. >> john: i don't know. cesar is telling them to hold up. >> tom: the third base umpire, doug eddings, went down.

i thought it hit the wall, but it did not hit the wall. >> john: it did not. >> tom: i don't know how that didn't get out of the ballpark. >> john: you might challenge it, right? >> tom: it's a crew chief review at this point so they would just ask jeff nelson, but eddings seemed to be pretty confident with it. no, they're not going to ask. well, that's two outs now with a runner at second. >> john: i'm just disappointed that corey didn't ask for help -- >> tom: from doug eddings? juan nieves is going out to the mound. there's a lot to talk about when you're up by eight with two out in the inning.

>> john: they're probably telling him first sign after three, don't worry about the guy on second. we've got to get the hitter. all the normal stuff they say. johnny padres was the best. he was the most honest. he told a pitcher once, he goes i don't know why i'm out here. but jimmy told me to come out here and talk to you. he said you have nothing. but i don't know if he wants to keep you in or take you out, but he told me to come out and talk to you. >> tom: i heard another story where they said he would come out and he would say to i forget to whoever it was, i think you're throwing great, but jimmy does not. >> john: oh, yeah. he told you what he thought would help you. we had one particular pitcher

that finished his warmups. i could hear him walking in the dugout from the bullpen. i could hear pads, you've got great stuff. you take that in the game, you're winning today. back in the tunnel sitting where it's cooler, pads, what have we got today? a long game. this guy ain't got, you know what. there we go. >> tom: one ball and two strikes to altherr. and aaron stays alive and pokes it foul.

phillies will wrap up the month of may with only six wins, as this one is popped foul. the worst may they have ever had in a long storied history of this franchise was 1928 when they were 3-22. >> john: ouch. >> tom: this month counting the last two games, 6-22, which winning percentagewise is the second worst. one ball, two strikes to altherr. and 2-2. >> john: wonder what we're going to talk about on the postgame show? >> tom: anything you want to run out there? they could build a graphic for you. >> john: i'm at a loss.

>> tom: 2-2 to altherr. he pops that one up foul off the first baseline. >> john: i've got nothing. i don't know what to say anymore. >> tom: well, the hope that you have is that something changes the way it's changed this way. through april the phillies were just a game under .500. but this may has been wraught with poor pitching and poor execution. >> john: the bullpen has been good, though. >> tom: 2-2 pitch. that one is popped foul just in front of us. it remains 2-2. baseball is a game that is somewhat cyclical. but where will it come from? that's the big question. i mean you have guys that are putting together months offensively that they have never seen before individually and

hence the collective malaise the phillies have been in. >> john: i was just explaining to someone that it was a malaise. >> tom: that's right. strike three called. altherr down looking and the ball game is over. the marlins have swept out the phils in this brief three-game series. don mattingly's team limping going into their series against the angels have now won back-to-back and five of six. it's their first three-game sweep since august of last year at pittsburgh, and their first three-game sweep of the phils since june and july of 2012. they win it today comfortably in the final game of this three-game series. the first month with six or fewer wins since june of 1997. when the phillies were 4-22. dan straily today 6 2/3, 8 hits an 10 strikeouts.

he was our chevrolet player of the game. he had it going on from the get-go. not only with his fastball but also his breaking pitch. it had an awful lot of movement on it. aaron altherr going fishing on that one. howie kendrick tried to check and could not. pretty good movement on the outside breaking ball. went back to it a couple different times. right there he freezes aaron altherr. i thought that was one of the best pitches of the day to freddy galvis. he was all smiles when don mattingly took him out, but he is our chevrolet player of the game. so the phillies lose it by a final of 10-2. the marlins sweep the series. we'll be back to south florida to wrap it up right after this. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

jury for their hard work since april 20th. >> i think the nature of a a hung jury suggests they can't prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. that's why very well intentioned people disagree on thrks but 12 people couldn't say guilty. >> dj creato at this hour remains locked up in the camden county jail. this building directly behind the courthouse. his attorney plans to ask for a reduction of the $750,000 bail. that's a hearing that could come early as next week. this case has also obviously rip ed the community and we did speak to residents there today. we will have more on their reaction coming up at 5:00 and 6:00. for now, i'm cydney long, nbc 10 news. >> as you just mentioned, our coverage continues at 5:00. nbc 10's lauren mayk is talking to experts about what's next and what the chances are there will be another trial. that's coming up at 5:00.

going to weaken as the sun goes down. as you can see on the futurecast, there's 8:00. there's not much going on, but later on this evening, for the lehigh valley, poconos area, maybe extending to parts of bucks county and then we start out again. no repeat of the fog from this morning tomorrow morning. it's going to be a really nice start to the day. 78 degrees, that's exactly the average high for this time of year. but it's still in the 60s to near 70 at the beaches. we have that chance of a a shower or thunderstorm by late this evening. again, the highest chance is farther to the north. tomorrow morning, starting off sunny. we're going to finish the day sunny. we'll see how long the stretch lasts even into the weekend, comie ining up. the first ever for philadelphia, but it turned out to be a trip to a spot no one
