Phillies forgot to bring their bats to the ballpark: Diamondbacks 3, Phillies 2

The Philadelphia Phillies began their road trip by stopping in the desert to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks. In the first game of three against the Diamondbacks, the Phillies ran Kyle Gibson onto the mound. Gibson, previous to this start, had looked great in his first two starts for the Phillies but faltered in his last when he faced the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Gibson did turn in a quality start on Tuesday night. The sinker baller cruised through the four innings and thoughts of a complete game started creeping into our thoughts.
