Phillies bats explode to snap 4-game losing streak
After dropping two in a row to the Marlins, the Philadelphia Phillies bats exploded Saturday night in Miami.
The Phillies set the tone in the top of the first inning Saturday. After a J.T. Realmuto strikeout, Rhys Hoskins and Bryce Harper walked, before a Nick Castellanos single loaded the bases. Alec Bohm then knocked Hoskins in via a sacrifice fly, the first of two on the night.
The Phillies added a second run in unconventional fashion, with Castellanos staying alive on the basepaths long enough to not only score Harper, but return to first base safely:
After a 40-pitch first inning, the Phillies chased Trevor Rogers in the second inning, batting around and scoring six runs.
