Phillies 9, Rockies 6: Bullpen has bad seventh inning on first bad day

No sweep.

Despite jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, Germán Marquez was hit hard and the bullpen got hit even harder as the Phillies had a three-run fourth inning and a five-run fourth on their way to a victory on Wednesday afternoon. Colorado had two mini rallies to stay in the game, but went hitless in the eighth and ninth.

The Phillies offense finally lived up to its billing with Nick Castellanos, Alex Bohm, Kyle Schwarber, and Johan Camargo all hitting home runs. The Rockies didn’t go yard, but C.J. Cron continued his powerful hitting with a two-run double and Ryan McMahon hit a pair of doubles and drove in three runs.
