Fuhgeddaboudit - Phillies 4, Yankees 1
In the midst of their own mini depression, the Phillies avoided starting the campaign 0-5 for the first time since the FDR administration with a 4-1 win over the Yankees on Tuesday night.
Brandon Marsh showed the benefit of having a short memory, Kyle Schwarber kick-started his slow beginning to the season and Matt Strahm made a cameo start to stabilize a pitching staff who were on the ropes after being caught cold out of the gate.
In his second appearance of the season and first start since August 17, 2021, Strahm gave the Phillies four relatively sweat-free innings, allowing just a single and a walk to go along with three strikeouts on 61 pitches and 42 strikes.
