SAN DIEGO – The Phillies suffered an 8-2 loss to the Padres on Monday night at Petco Park, but nothing could be worse than what happened to Phillies center player Andrew McCutchen early in the first round of the season. bat.

If it were as serious as it seemed, it could have a lasting impact on the Phillies season.

McCutchen was apparently injured his left knee early in the first run while he was trying to avoid a mark in a run-down condition before the first and second goals. McCutchen grabbed the knee as he turned in the air and fell to the ground. He winced in pain. Moments later, Phillies coach Chris Mudd helped him out of the field and into the visitors' lodge.

McCutchen was found in a dilapidated state because Jean Segura fell into the batter's penalty box and did not go out of his way to get to first base after passing second baseman Padres, Ian Kinsler. Kinsler wisely let the ball fall in front of him – there was only one baseball player, so the rule of the infield fly was not in force – to try to get a double-dealing.

The Phillies had no immediate announcement regarding the injury.

McCutchen's crash overshadowed the Phillies' consecutive loss, which reduced their lead over the Braves in the National League half-game. The loss included a Grand Slam of Padres striker Manny Machado in the sixth inning against rookie JD Hammer and an approximate performance by Phillies Ace Aaron Nola, who allowed six points in 5 1/3 of the time.
