Final Score: Phillies 10, Angels 0
The Phillies are 1-0 in the Rob Thomson era.
They’ve taken the first of three against the scuffling Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, who have now lost nine-consecutive games. Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper both hit two home runs, Bryson Stott homered for the first time in his career and Zach Eflin threw eight shutout innings. Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout combined to go 0-for-7 with three strikeouts against the Phillies starter.
The Phillies were kind to their new skipper. Friday will probably be the easiest game Thomson will manage all year.
