We knew the Phillies were a pretty good baseball team here in the United States. Now, after dismantling the Mets in London, there is another continent that is aware.
Kept off the scoreboard for a few frame by Sean Manaea and the glare from center field, the Phillies exploded for six runs in the fourth inning to break open a tight game and run roughshod over a Mets team that looked deflated after a Harper homer.
Prior to that, it was the Phillies that looked a little rusty. Ranger Suarez, in his first start since taking a line drive off his hand, had a bit of a shaky beginning.
