Final Score: Phillies 4, A’s 2
Bryce Harper’s teammates honored his 2021 MVP season by doing what they were built to do this year: Hit dingers.
Designated hitter Nick Castellanos drove in the first run of the game on a two-run laser shot to center field. His first home run as a Philadelphia Phillie gave his new club a 2-0 lead.
Rhys Hoskins and Jean Segura went back-to-back in the sixth to double the lead.
