[DurhamBull]

First start for Stassi? I hope he can relax and get his first hit in the majors.

[LoneStarPhan]

First start for Stassi? I hope he can relax and get his first hit in the majors.

He started one game in Cincinnati.

He was 0 for 2 with a walk. While he is 0 for 4 for the season, he has 3 walks, giving him a .429 OBP.

[DurhamBull]

4 pitches in to the Phils' half of the inning, LA is already complaining about the home plate umpire.

[DurhamBull]

Phils score 2 in their half, including a bases loaded walk to Rupp.

Stassi followed him with a weak DP grounder back to the pitcher. Sorry, Brock, that was not your moment.

In the top of the 2nd, Eickhoff gives out a couple of free passes to annoy LSP. The inning ends with no harm done thanks to a DP.

[DurhamBull]

Nothing doing for the Phils in their half of the 2nd.

[DurhamBull]

Eickhoff Ks 2 in a clean top of the 3rd. Phils coming to bat.

[DurhamBull]

Kendrick leads off with a single.

Herrera gives the ball a very long ride but it's an out. Kendrick still on first.

[DurhamBull]

Hard single for Franco; Kendrick stops at second.

[DurhamBull]

Saunders advances the runners with a GO. Two down.

[DurhamBull]

Rupp pops out. 2-0 Phils after 3.

[DurhamBull]

Solo HR Jay Bruce -- 2-1 Phils.

[DurhamBull]

No further damage done. Going to the bottom of the 4th.

[LoneStarPhan]

3 LOB in first and 2 (2nd & 3rd) in the third. Need to Get the big hit.

[DurhamBull]

GO for Stassi, single for Galvis.

[DurhamBull]

Eickhoff fouls 2 bunts and then gets called out on strikes. Galvis still at first with 2 down.

[LoneStarPhan]

Inability to sac bunt continues into 2017 season.

[DurhamBull]

Cespedes chases down Hernandez's attempt at a gapper. 2-1 Phils after 4.

[DurhamBull]

Eickhoff sets 'em down in order in the top of the 5th.

[DurhamBull]

Both pitchers settling into more of a groove as de Grom sets down the Phils 1-2-3.

After 5 full, 2-1 Phils.
