Oh God they needed this.
The past month of Phillies baseball has been absolutely brutal. Before tonight, they were 3-7 in their last 10, and nursing a 3 game losing streak. They haven’t won a series since they swept these very Marlins a month ago. Not only are they losing, but they keep finding unique new ways to lose. With playoff hopes dimming by the day, this team needed to put up a decent win.
And they did. They finally did.
Runs!
Carlos Santana got things started off with a home run on the 4th pitch of the game.
