After a five-game skid, the Phillies pulled out a win and climbed out of a tie with the Washington Nationals in the basement of the NL East. It’s nice to win one every once in a while, isn’t it?
Matt Strahm (4-3, 3.20 ERA) kicked off this bullpen game for the Phillies against MacKenzie Gore (3-3, 3.51 ERA). Only two months into the season, Strahm is quickly approaching the number of innings he pitched for the entirety of last season.
Bryson Stott was missing from the lineup today, the infield consisting of Drew Ellis, Josh Harrison, Edmundo Sosa, and Trea Turner.
