Poor pitching and sloppy defense would plague the Phillies early and often at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday, as they dropped their Home Opener to the Brewers, 10-4.
Kyle Kendrick would make the start, as the right-hander was smacked around to the tune of six runs (four earned) in five innings of work, including allowing two of Ryan Braun's three home runs on the afternoon.

Kendrick and the rest of the Phillies did little to help their cause on the defensive side, as errors by the pitcher and third baseman Cody Asche in the third would contribute to a four-run inning for Milwaukee.
Ben Revere would commit an error as well, as the center fielder dropped a ball with two outs in the seventh, allowing the Brewers to extend their lead to 7-4.
The Brewers would continue to pile on against the Phillies bullpen, as they played spoiler to the Home Opener in their 10-4 win.
The Phillies will look for redemption Wednesday night when Roberto Hernandez takes the mound against Matt Garza and the Brewers.
Notes: Chase Utley missed the game after being sent home earlier in the day with the flu. Ryan Braun's three home runs don't count in the official BSB statistics, because he took steroids.
