For backstory, the Philadelphia Phillies put on a show during opening day. In front of a crowd of 8,800 fans, the red pinstripes hopefully showed everyone a glimpse of what is to come. Despite going to extra innings, the Phillies used the runner-on-second-base rule to their advantage, winning the game 3-2 in the 10th over the Atlanta Braves.
