Opening Series: PHI vs. STL

PHI (0-0) vs. STL (0-0)

4/4/18: Opening Day

PHI (1-0) vs. STL (0-1), W 4-0
W: Nola (1-0, 0.00) L: Weaver (0-1, 6.00) SV: N/A







Nola's 7 dominant innings were backed by Nick Williams' HR and Scott Kingery's 2 for 2, 2 RBI night. Tommy Hunter and Hector Neris combined for a perfect 8th and 9th to lock down a no-drama win on Opening Day.


4/5/19: Game 2
PHI (2-0) vs. STL (0-2), W 6-4
W: Pivetta (1-0, 1.59) L: Reyes (0-1, 9.82) SV: Iglesias (1)







Pivetta's strong 5.2 IP were backed by Josh Donaldson's 2-run HR and multi-hit games from Carlos Santana, Rhys Hoskins, and Odubel Herrera. Blake Treinen struggled in his Phillies debut, but Raisel Iglesias got the final out of the game and the save.


4/6/19: Game 3
PHI (2-1) vs. STL (1-2), L 8-6
W: Martinez (1-0, 7.20) L: Arrieta (0-1, 15.43) SV: Tuivailala (1)







The Phillies' late-inning rally came up short as Arrieta was sunken by HRs from Ozuna and Thames. Josh Donaldson went 2 for 3 with a HR and Scott Kingery went 3 for 5 in the loss.


4/7/19: Game 4
PHI (3-1) vs. STL (1-3), W 7-5
W: McCarthy (1-0, 3.86) L: Pomeranz (0-1, 3.38) SV: N/A







Brandon McCarthy made a strong showing in his Phillies debut, going 7 IP and allowing 3 ER on 6 H. The Phillies tagged Michael Wacha for 3 R, 1 earned, and forced him out before the 5th inning. However, the most important inning for the Phils was the bottom of the 8th, when they rallied for 3 runs on 4 hits off of former Phillie Cole Hamels, providing them with much-needed insurance as Hector Neris fought his way through the 9th to shut the door. The

Phillies will host the Red Sox for 2 games in the next 2 days.
