On a rainy Tuesday night when most people expected (nay, hungered for) the game to be called due to the rotten weather, the Philadelphia Phillies got an outstanding and much-needed quality start from their afterthought sixth starter, a shutdown performance from the bottom of the bullpen, and a signature game at the plate from their champion en route to a 9-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds.
Spencer Turnbull made his Phillies’ debut and first regular season start since May 6th of last year.
After beginning the season 0 for 11, Bryce Harper made his first hit of the season a loud one.
