Phillies with 10 LOB and 2 more erased on DPs. Go 0 for 9 with RISP.
Bohm comes up empty but hit several balls hard. Frustrating game, but a series win is always the goal and they take this opening series.
On to the home opener.
I don't get bothered by these losses anymore. All that matters to me is that they stay relatively healthy and play their best baseball right before they head into the Postseason. While the first half of the 2024 season was fun to watch, it was like watching Game of Thrones seasons 1-4 only to watch it all fall apart by season 8.
