The Phillies are about to enter a schedule gauntlet. Today, it’s the Red Sox for a doubleheader, followed by the welcome respite of an off day, then seven games in five days against the Marlins. While in the past that may have seemed like welcome news, we as fans know that Miami has given the Phillies fits these past few years and with the Marlins playing well so far, it represents a rough stretch of games.
First though, the Phillies had to get through the Red Sox.
Game 1: Phillies 6, Red Sox 5
Game one of the doubleheader started out well for the Phillies.
