Brady Singer limited the Phillies to one run through 7 1/3 innings in a loss Thursday.

The Reds were shut out with Singer on the mound for the second straight time. This is probably Singer’s second-best start of the season. The best came three weeks ago when he shut out the Brewers for seven innings in a no-decision. He’s certainly been a below average starter with his 4.72 ERA, but he still deserves better than a 3-9 record at this point. He’ll probably pitch in Coors in his first start after the break.
