Kyle Schwarber hit two home runs to help jumpstart the Phillies offense in the win.
This was one of the Phillies’ best offensive nights of the season, and it almost went to waste because of a bullpen implosion.
José Alvarado came out for the ninth. He allowed one hit with one strikeout. With two outs, pinch runner Nolan Smith stole second base. The Phillies challenged the safe call, but it stood. With the tying run on second, Alvarado induced a pop out by Sean Bouchard to secure the win and a three-game series sweep.
Phillies’ Taijuan Walker feels ‘really good’ after second rehab start, could return sooner than expectedwent 1-for-4 with two strikeouts. He will heat up eventually, but if Turner and Schwarber continue to do what they’ve been doing, it should make his slow start less consequential.
