How sweep it is! The Orioles completed their second straight sweep against an NL East foe by beating the Phillies 11-4 at Citizens Bank Park on Thursday night.
A rain delay pushed the start time of this game back about an hour and 40 minutes. But even once things got underway the two offenses were slow out of the gate. Through the first three innings neither club managed to advance a runner past second base.
That changed in the bottom of the fourth inning, however, when Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto smacked a two-run homer into the right-center field bleachers, scoring Bryce Harper, who had doubled ahead of him.
