PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Taijuan Walker pitched six scoreless innings, Kyle Schwarber homered and the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Colorado Rockies 3-1 on Thursday.
Walker, who was pulled from the Phillies rotation in 2024 because of his ineffectiveness, was making his season debut as a starter filling in for the injured Ranger Suárez. He allowed three hits and struck out four.
