Gregorius made a very good play on a very well hit ball. He throws to second to start the DP from a sitting position. Well done. Familia gets a break as the ball was hit well but just in the wrong spot for the batter. Turned out to be the right spot for Familia and the Phillies. Another solid start from Nola and he gets the win. Cannot say enough about the two scoreless innings from Appel. Phillies turn out 18 hits with Bohm and Castellanos getting 4 each, JT 3. A fun game for the phans.
Phillies sweep in 4 game series in Pittsburgh for first time since 1968.
Phillies follow a good June with a pretty good July. This sweep tilts the balance for them and they end up 15-10. Sweeps on the road in Miami and Pittsburgh were highlights of July. Downers losing two in St. Louis after winning first two of the four there, losing the two in Toronto, and being swept at home by the Cubs.
