There was a time, not too long ago, when Brandon Marsh looked completely lost. Forty-one strikeouts in 102 plate appearances, and a whole lot of other types of outs, between July 12 and Aug. 22 brought his numbers on the season — once reflective of a breakout — down to a meager .238/.314/.400. He wasn’t hitting lefties. He wasn’t hitting righties.
But much as the Phillies have pulled themselves out of their second-half slog in the last couple weeks, so has Marsh. He had three more hits (including a double) on Wednesday in the Phillies’ 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.
