The Philadelphia Phillies had a nice, productive outing against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Riding the emotional wave of surviving the Mountain on Friday, Philadelphia's bats and pitching collaborated to lay down a 6-0 blanking of Arizona, completing a three-game homestand sweep of its Western guests.
It was mostly a heartening performance, save for a weird accident that left pitcher Sean O'Sullivan massaging a bruised jugular.
After sailing a fastball in the top of the sixth, O'Sullivan took a moment to rue his rotten luck and pound his glove. In this moment, catcher Cameron Rupp threw the ball back to his unprepared pitcher, who caught it flush in the Adam's apple.
