Cron

C. J. Cron hit by pitch.
Gets ahead in the count 0-2 and then hits the batter.
Making the pitching change after the first out looking a little like the overmanaging it is, IMO.
But he gets the third out and the Phillies hold their 5-3 lead.
Alls well that ends well.

Maikel Franco grounds out, third baseman Matt Duffy to first baseman C. J. Cron.
Will be interesting to see who goes down when Hunter is ready in a week or so. Would think Rios or Hutchison would be first to go.

Aaron Altherr strikes out swinging.
In spite of my negative comments above, Rios has done pretty well. Hutchison likely to hang around since he gives them a multiple inning man in the pen and could take a start if something happened on short notice. Of course, something else may happen by the time the decision has to be made.

Gosh, Rios really making the case for a trip back to AAA. Another HBP. A wild pitch. Ugly.

Rios not helping his case with the HBP and the wild pitch. Welcome to the board, BTW!

That number 42 in right field sure saves the day with the lay out catch to end the inning.
