11 hits through 5 to a AAAA team.

[LoneStarPhan]

Have to admit that this first outing for Syndergaard has been rocky. His record with LAA suggests that he can give us better outings than tonight.

Game now in a rain delay. After four and a half innings: Phillies lead, 5-4.

If and when they resume, the Phillies should be going to the bullpen to finish out the game.

[schillingfan]

Rain delay. The one lightning strike they showed was massive. Bryce Harper in the television booth. He sounds like an old soul. He must have watched Crash Davis’ clinic on what to say from Bull Durham. But he really showed some reverence for baseball as a kid growing up.

Oswalt gor bombed in his 2010 Phillies debut but didn't lose again until the NLCS.

[LoneStarPhan]

What are the rules now for games that don't resume? I grew up with baseball when this would be an official game (home team ahead and visiting team completed their fifth inning hitting) but I know they now suspend games and finish later, so I'm guessing this game would be resumed either later tonight or later in the season. But I am really not sure.

[Eisenreich]

I logged in just to say that I got your joke. Big Fargo fan here.

[Lucky_Beagle]

I believe it would be considered an official game as they have played 5 (4.5 but home team winning.) I think suspended games are when it doesn't reach official status, game is tied, or visiting team went ahead but home team hasn't completed their at bat in the inning.

Please someone correct me if I am not correct.

[Lucky_Beagle]

Any word on weather and if expected to resume at some point? I have mlb.com and it just says in a weather delay on the screen without ever any updates on expected time to restart.

[zambonir]

I have the sound off so haven't heard any news but they keep showing the grounds crew standing around (in between the canned stuff that is being aired). Not sure what it would take to call (or postpone/make-up) the game. But for now it's still obviously going to resume.

[Dirk41]

No rain here. They could have been done by now

[zambonir]

Phils win!

Phillies win, 5-4, as the game is called due to rain.

A win. I'll take it.

Big hit, the home run from Bohm. Important in a one run win, the home run by Hoskins in the first inning.

Syndergaard wins his first start as a Phillie. Not a good outing, but winning is the bottom line. The team wins.

[zambonir]

Smart of them to have a five-inning pitcher for this one.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Nailed the runner at home to end the game!

[andyb]

Well we traded for a pitcher who could go deeper in games and he just pitched a complete game...

[LoneStarPhan]

Meanwhile, in LA, Moniak hit a home run for the Angels. The Angels scored in 7 of the 9 innings and lost, 8-7. The Angels had 7 home runs, all with the bases empty.
