After losing the first four games they played against the last place Arizona Diamondbacks this season, and then needing a wild comeback effort to finally beat them on Friday, it was nice that the Phillies took care of business on Saturday. The bats produced, the pitching was superb, and even the defense was solid in a 7-0 victory.
The Phillies haven’t been all that good lately about getting off to early leads, but they jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. It shouldn’t be surprising that Bryce Harper (sacrifice fly) was involved in the scoring, but it was somewhat of a surprise that Didi Gregorius was as well.
