Trea Day (and everybody’s celebratin’): Phillies 9, Royals 6

It feels so well-timed, doesn’t it?

After months of struggle and frustration, Trea Turner returned home to face a crowd in Philadelphia that put on a display that showed they still believe in him. And tonight Trea Turner fulfilled his part.

Cristopher Sánchez made his tenth start for the Phillies tonight and it was the roughest one yet. He gave up six earned runs in five innings. Sánchez came into the game with a 2.66 ERA but has yet to record a win.

The game started off with Schwarber continuing to play the role of King of Walks when he reached first on five pitches without his bat ever coming off his shoulder.
