Not Enough Nava: Reds 7, Phillies 4
Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty ImagesDaniel Nava scraped onto the Phillies’ 2017 opening day roster by the skin of his teeth, but if his performance Thursday afternoon against the Reds was any indication, he might be sticking around for a while. Nava was almost the entirety of the Phillies’ offense in a 7-4 loss to the Reds in a cold, wet Thursday afternoon affair.
For the second time in the series, the Phillies got a first-inning homerun. On Monday, it was Cesar Hernandez providing the power. This time around, it was Nava, who cracked a solo blast into the right field seats to put the Phillies in front.
