What a difference a good night’s sleep makes. After a late night on Thursday seemed to cause them to sleepwalk through Friday night’s game, the Phillies played much better on Saturday afternoon. Specifically, the defense was on point, as they turned five double plays, helping them emerge with a 4-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Coming off Friday’s shutout, the Phillies got on the board early on Saturday, when Nick Castellanos’ first inning double put them out in front 2-0.

The offense went quiet for a bit after that, but fortunately the defense did not.
