Final Score: Phillies 5, Red Sox 4
If you didn’t know already, the Phillies were playing Sunday’s game shorthanded. Bailey Falter, Connor Brogdon, Alec Bohm and Sunday’s scheduled starter Aaron Nola were all placed on the COVID-19 injured list. Phillies GM Sam Fuld said on WIP before the game that Bohm tested positive for COVID while Falter, Brogdon and Nola were all ruled out due to contact tracing. Cristopher Sánchez, Damon Jones, Mauricio Llovera and Nick Maton were all called up from Lehigh Valley.
Somehow, it didn’t stop the Phillies from edging out one of the best teams in baseball in the Boston Red Sox.
