Listen, you’re probably reading this because you were out today doing things with your mom, wife, grandmother, someone. And that’s fine. It’s darn near impossible to watch every single baseball game. So today, just know this: if you missed the baseball game, thank the moms of Cristopher Sanchez and Kyle Schwarber for giving them to us.
In the first inning, Schwarber and Bryce Harper, sans migraine headache, started the scoring with back to back home runs off Tomoyuki Sugano.
The third run came in the third inning when Bryson Stott scored when trying to steal third and an error by Hunter Goodman allowed him to scamper home. Alec Bohm, who had walked and gotten to second on said error, scored himself when a sacrifice fly by Trea Turner made the score 4-0.
Then Schwarber came up again.
Meanwhile, Sanchez just kept rolling along, setting down Rockies hitter after Rockies hitter without breaking much of a sweat. There was a tiny little issue in the third, but that was really it. He’s rounding back into Cy Young form right when the team needs it.
Alec Bohm gave them their sixth run as his nice weekend continued, driving in Brandon Marsh with an RBI single.
Just another series victory for the Phillies, stacking them up bit by bit, climbing out of the rut they put themselves in. They head to Boston next.
