Fish Sticks, Anyone? Phillies 5, Marlins 2

Fish fear the Gorton’s Fisherman. He promises them only the dread fate of breadcrumbs, batter, and oil. Now, his beard is both shorter and grayer than Brandon Marsh’s. And his hair, it must be said, is significantly more tame. Still, there’s a resemblance between the two, if you squint a little. Maybe the Marlins were a little spooked.

Anyway, how about that Trea Turner? His stats are looking shinier than that Emmy his documentary just won. He started this one off by lifting a Sandy Alcantara sinker just high enough to clear the wall, giving the Phillies a 1-0 lead two pitches in.
