Jean Segura and Roman Quinn (with a big assist from Max Muncy) might have saved the Phillies’ season on Sunday. The comeback victory against the Dodgers avoided a disheartening sweep and gave the Phillies some momentum heading into their first matchup of the season against the Atlanta Braves.
Did I say momentum? Just kidding! As has been well established, momentum is largely unheard of in baseball, and especially for the Phillies. This team seems to specialize in following up emotional wins with games where the players appear to sleepwalk their way to a 4-1 loss.
