I know the Phillies are going to inevitably lose another game at some point. But the way the offense has been crushing the ball, I’m not entirely sure it's going to happen any time soon.
The Phillies’ lineup had another big night on Friday. Led by Rhys Hoskins’ two home runs, they struck early, and tacked on an important insurance run late. Kyle Gibson had a quality start, and the bullpen - despite some difficulties in the seventh - was able to close it out. The result was a 7-5 win over the Diamondbacks that marked their eighth in a row.
