Jimmy Paredes has been the most obscure Phillies player since joining the team on June 1. The outfielder rarely played. And when he did, it was not memorable. That changed on Sunday.
Paredes finished a 7-6 win over Colorado a triple shy of the cycle. Paredes, who started in left field, went 3 for 4 and drove in three runs. He singled in a run in the second and homered in the fourth. His double in the fifth capped the team's three-run rally and gave Paredes his first three-hit game since last June.
The win may have come at a price as Adam Morgan, who started for the injured Zach Eflin, left the game in the fourth inning after he was drilled on the left arm by a line drive off the bat.
