[LoneStarPhan]

Neshek gets the 3 outs and holds the lead for the save. Win tonight for Dominguez. Pretty good pitching again tonight, VV going 5 as the starter and the pen giving up only the ninth inning homer. All Phillies runs on the long ball as Herrera hits the 2 run homer and Hoskins adds two solo shots to secure the win. Another solid win!

[el-pietro]

Great to get the win against the divisional rival too, more important than most years given how tight it is.

[Austinfan]

Velasquez settled down, but I just lack confidence in him. He relies too much on a maximum effort FB, and his command seems to come and go. He hung a slider and got hammered, then lost some confidence in it, but I don't think he can make it over a season without three pitches. But if he's your 5th starter, we've seen much worse.

SD seemed to have regained a little velocity and some confidence, and Robertson looks like he made the veteran tweaks to get back on track.

Harper seems to be pressing a bit, some may be expectations, some may be frustration with getting pitched around, but with Rhys hammering behind him, he should just relax and lead the league in runs scored. Still waiting for Realmuto to get on track, when that happens, oh boy.
