Three nice at bats this inning. Let’s get some more.
Stott was unable to move the runner, but Rojas and Schwarber come through.
What is the reason that Rojas doesn't start almost every game? Offense and defense helped by Rojas already in the short time he has been in this game.
Trea Turner

Philadelphia Phillies
Los Angeles Dodgers
I think Hays is likely IL-bound and Rojas is the starting CF again. I think Thomson felt the need to try Hays out as an everyday player in order to get more offense into the starting lineup. But I think that experiment will be over, assuming Hays’ injury is something that requires an IL stint.
Freddie Freeman
Foul (90.1 mph four-seam fastball)Ball (91.1 mph four-seam fastball)In play, no out (79. mph curveball)
Freddie Freeman reaches on a throwing error by shortstop Trea Turner.
Looks like another possible overturn on the replay?
Phillies 3 for 3 in challenges tonight..
Freddie didn't exactly bust it down the line there.
Can't remember that many in one game before
Freddie was not running all out to first and that allowed Harper to recover, picking up the ball just before Freeman reached the base.
Enrique Hernández
Ball (82. mph sweeper)In play, out(s) (90.6 mph four-seam fastball)
Enrique Hernández grounds out softly to first baseman Bryce Harper.
Gavin Lux
Foul (92.3 mph four-seam fastball)Swinging strike (92.7 mph four-seam fastball)Batter Timeout.Swinging strike (blocked) (80.7 mph curveball)
Gavin Lux strikes out swinging.
9 in a row for Phillips.
By wRC+, Rojas is the 5th worst (out of 245) hitter in MLB in 2014(minimum 250 PAs).
Alec Bohm
Foul (92.4 mph four-seam fastball)Ball (92.7 mph four-seam fastball)In play, no out (83.9 mph changeup)
Alec Bohm doubles (40) on a sharp line drive to left fielder Teoscar Hernández.
Brandon Marsh
In play, no out (92.1 mph four-seam fastball)
Brandon Marsh reaches on a fielder's choice, fielded by third baseman Enrique Hernández. Alec Bohm to 3rd. Alec Bohm advances to 3rd, on an interference error by shortstop Miguel Rojas.
Dave Roberts thrown out of the game for arguing the call that the 3rd baseman blocked the bag when going for the tag
Big break for us.
How about this year, though
