The Phillies demolished the Diamondbacks, on the strength of a season-high six run inning.
Strictly Eyewash: Phillies 8, D-Bax 0Making his first start since coming back from the disabled list yesterday, Vincent Velasquez pitched five shutout innings, scattering five hits, while striking out seven. While he struggled to put away hitters at times, he was also never really in trouble. Good to have you back, Vinny, now please polish up another out pitch.
Arizona's Robbie Ray matched Velasquez until the sixth, when he was tagged for a pair of runs. Odubel Herrera and Peter Bourjos opened with singles, and after a wild pitch, another pair of singles by Maikel Franco and Cameron Rupp scored Herrera and Bourjos.
