Final Score: Phillies 7, Padres 4
Rhys Hoskins picked up right where he left off. Odubel Herrera stayed hot in August. J.T. Realmuto’s bat came alive. The offensive output from those three names combined with pure excellence from Kyle Gibson led to a Phillies victory.
Philadelphia’s lineup desperately needed a spark in this series as they mustered just nine hits total in the first two games. It’s also no secret that they had struggled mightily without Hoskins’ bat in the lineup the past few weeks.
