We didn’t see this one coming.
Vince Velasquez quickly fell behind 1-0 thanks to a long first inning that included a throwing error by Jorge Alfaro. Then the Phillies came up and loaded the bases with nobody out. Rhys Hoskins walked to tie the game. One batter later, Maikel Franco launched a 2-2 pitch into the seats. Grand slam. 5-1.
Two innings later the Phils once again loaded the bases. This time Aaron Altherr was at the plate. Grand slam. 9-1.
It was the first time in nine years that the Phils hit two grannies in a game.
