What is the story about?
Last
night was the Phillies public scrimmage game that served as a tune up for the NLDS. Over 31,000 fans attendance, “selling out” the event where all the ticket money went to charity. The Powder Blue Phillies beat the Pinstripe Phillies 3-0. Bryce Harper hit a two run homer to dead center. Jesús Luzardo had 9 strikeouts. Garrett Stubbs had two hits.
It all starts to count again in two days when the Dodgers come to town.
