Momentum is baseball is fickle, and the Phillies are living proof. It seems that every time they earn an important or exciting win, they follow it up with a dispiriting loss. For example, after a solid victory in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader, they played like garbage in dropping the nightcap. So after they won the suspended game early on Sunday afternoon, it wouldn’t have shocked anyone if the Phillies came out flat for the next game.
Fortunately, the Phillies did not come out flat. Instead, thanks to contributions from players both expected and not, they earned a comeback victory over the Marlins 7-4.
