If nothing else in this extremely young season, we can assume two things are going to happen in the greater Philadelphia area. One, the demand for boxes of hair coloring will increase as people seek a way to cover up the grays that will be caused by this team. Two, sales on Pepto Bismol will also skyrocket if this keeps up.
Rhys Hoskins opened up the scoring for the Phillies tonight, hitting his first homerun of 2018 into the left field bleachers in the top of the second inning, giving the Phillies a 1-0 lead. Starting pitcher Nick Pivetta looked sharp early, cruising through the first two innings, aided by a nifty little strike ‘em out-throw ‘em out by Andrew Knapp and Scott Kingery that put an end to an early rally.
