Odd to not save Alvarado for the 9th but that is what Thomson does, no closer.

match-ups and toughest outs over the # of the inning

Yea, but he used Alvarado for the bottom of the order (and lead off). Seems like this was the opposite of that this time

It has worked so many times for Thomson I don’t doubt, but this one was bringing in the #2 guy for the middle of the order.

Maybe it is a lefty/righty thing

[EastFallowfield]

Had 'em all the way, Harry!

Romano got one of those called strikes that was outside the box, but those went both ways tonight.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Chalk up another series win on the Series Performance Tracker thread!

[bkeich]

Wheeler or Schwarber for player of the game? Tough call.

[EastFallowfield]

Phils have a better record than 3 of the division leaders.

[bkeich]

Phils move into the #2 WC spot

[LoneStarPhan]

Phillies take 2 of the 3 in Cleveland. Another series win, this time losing the first and coming back to win games 2 and 3.

Outstanding pitching again. Combined 3 hit shutout. Wheeler goes seven innings so only two innings for the pen. Alvarado and Romano answer the call with scoreless, hitless, walk-less innings. Just what we like to see.

Phillies offense was the two home runs from Schwarber. Good enough with the outstanding pitching.

A successful week on the road, winning 5 of 6. Back home with the Cardinals Monday-Wednesday.

[dcsman]

I was at the game tonight in Cleveland. Fun time! Nice ballpark. Can’t believe how inexpensive tickets were and how few people were there.

[LegoDoom]

Wheeler or Schwarber for player of the game? Tough call.

Schwarber. Should have been walked and then hit a ball to the wall.

[BostonRoss]

It is a nice park. Maybe people stayed home to watch the Cavaliers. They were disappointed, too.

[Philsmania]

Good road series win against a good team.

As for the crowd, I've heard that spring weather in Cleveland isn't exactly an attaction. On TV, fans looked pretty bundled up. Phillies phans made their presence known. Either we travel very well or the Philadelphia diaspora really is that big or a combination of both.

I'm not quite ready to say Romano's coming around just yet but that's five straight scoreless innings and last night he looked downright dominating.
