Just last week, the Milwaukee Brewers took the last three games of a four-game set against the Philadelphia Phillies, leaving a bad taste in the mouths of Phillies fans. Granted, the Phillies won game one of that series, only to be embarrassed the rest of the way out, but they started off their second series of the month with the Brewers by winning 6-4 Friday night.
The story of the evening wasn’t the Phillies starting pitching, as Jerad Eickhoff struggled for the second consecutive outing. But the Phillies offense and bullpen picked up Eickhoff.
The scoring started in the top of the first.
