Cardinals Rally Late to Win in 10

Note: This is the point where my game crashed and I let autoplay catch up. The overall W-L was pretty much the same, but keep in mind this is not me controlling in-game decisions.

Aaron Nola and Luke Weaver engaged in a pitchers' duel for a fitting rematch of Opening Day. Each pitcher brought some of their best stuff, with Nola going 6.2 IP, allowing 1 ER on 4 H, and Weaver going 8.0 IP, allowing 2 ER on 5 H. The Phillies did everything they could to score, scoring the first run of the game on a squeeze bunt by Scott Kingery. However, in the bottom of the 2nd, the Cardinals got right back into it on an RBI double by Tommy Pham that tied the game at 1. From there, there was not much scoring that occured, and the Cardinals won in the 10th on a walk-off RBI double by Yadier Molina.


Garcia Returns from DL to Bolster Bullpen Depth

RHP Luis Garcia has been added to the MLB roster coming off of the DL. RHP Enyel De Los Santos has been optioned to AAA in a corresponding move.

The Phillies went with a bullpen game as they faced starter Carlos Martinez of the Cardinals. After Tommy Hunter and Adam Morgan allowed 4 R in 2.1 IP, the Phillies handed the ball to Raisel Iglesias and the Phillies' bullpen didn't allow a run for the remainder of the game. The Phillies tagged Carlos Martinez for 3 R in 4.2 IP on a 3-run HR by Rhys Hoskins in the 4th, but the Phillies still needed more, as they trailed 4-3. The Phillies managed to tie the game at 4 off of reliever Drew Pomeranz, and as the Cardinals went to Seung-hwan Oh, Aaron Altherr gave the Phillies a lead they wouldn't relinquish with a sac fly to break the scoreless tie. Blake Treinen picked up his 3rd save of the season as he slammed the door on a 6-4 lead to tie the series. The Phillies will go for the series win tomorrow.

All the scoring occured in the 1st inning, as the Phillies put 3 runs on the board, capped by an RBI single by Carlos Santana. The Cardinals got 2 back in the bottom half of the 1st, but both offenses went silent after that. Jake Arrieta lasted 5.1 IP, allowing 2 R on 6 H and 3 BB, while Michael Wacha went 7.0 IP, allowing 3 R on 6 H. For the Phillies, a comhination of Raisel Iglesias, Luis Garcia, Hector Neris, Felipe Vazquez, and Edubray Ramos combined for 3.2 scoreless IP to pick up both the win and the series win over the Cardinals in a rematch of the opening series. The Phillies will host the Marlins for 4 games at home in the next series.
