Victories are great, no matter the form they come in. Sometimes they are slugfests where you see multiple baseballs leaving the field, sometimes they are pitching duels. Games like today, they’re ugly and not fun to watch and guess what?
It’s still a win.
In the first inning, Cristopher Sanchez struck out Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts to begin the game, gave up what we thought was a harmless single, then had to face Teoscar Hernandez. Today, that wasn’t a matchup that went the Phillies’ way.
