Inclement weather postponed Game 3 from Monday to yesterday, so both teams had an extra day off to prepare for the first of three games in as many days in Philadelphia. It was the Phillies who looked the better-rested team with their offense exploding for seven runs on five homers while the pitching staff shutout the Astros en route to a 7-0 victory.
Philadelphia Phillies 7, Houston Astros 0
(PHI leads, 2-1)
The Phillies’ bats apparently took their silencing in Game 2 personally and responded by igniting for four runs through the first two innings.
