"I try, man," Galvis said. "I try every day."
Blue Jays designated hitter Steve Pearce hit a ball up the middle with the bases loaded and two outs in the second, but Galvis scooped it up, spun and fired a strike to first baseman Andrew Knapp to end the inning.
"Outstanding," Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said.
"I think that's instincts," Galvis said of the spin and throw. "I just try to keep the ball in the infield with two outs. Then as soon as I caught I knew I had a play at first base.
