Had 'em all the way, Harry!

[andyb]

Nice opener. Backhus still a TBD. His stuff just may be too easy for a right-handed bat to hit.

[LoneStarPhan]

Disappointing to tarnish the win with a bad ninth inning, but regardless, it is a win.

Four of five pitchers used by the Phillies end with a 0.00 ERA while one leaves with an 81.00 ERA.

Phillies score all five runs on two home runs. Kudos to Schwarber and Bohm.

Great start from Sanchez going six shutout innings. Two scoreless innings from the pen before Backhus gives up the 3 runs in a third of an inning in the ninth.

Duran gets a save and I guess with tomorrow off, the bullpen will be ready for the weekend.

So good to start the season with a win.
