Rhys Hoskins is usually a good way to start a fight about the Phillies. There are those who believe he isn’t a good baseball player, those that think he is simply one dimensional and those that have an unabashed love for him that any negativity is greeted with great hostility. There are valid arguments for and against Hoskins, but tonight, there is no argument. He played the biggest role in an unusually tense game.
The Phillies were facing possible trade target Jose Quintana on the evening, who then proceeded to shut down the offense over the first five innings.
