Rejoice: for the first time in 139 days, the Philadelphia Phillies won a baseball game!
In the first look at the 2025 version of a member of their vaunted rotation, they held on to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 in Swing-and-Misstopher Sanchez’s re-launch.
The Starters
We’ll designate them more as “roster locks” than “starters” but Johan Rojas, Brandon Marsh and Edmundo Sosa were the only regulars in the lineup today.
They went 0-3 to begin the game against Rays; starter, Taj Bradley, but put together a nice little sequence in the third inning that led to the game’s first runs off a two-RBI single by Sosa.
