⚾⚾PHILLIES: The Phillies needed to win two games Friday. But when the last legs of Hurricane Ian made that impossible, they did the next best thing -- they won one.
Saturday's forecast is not promising but the teams will try to play two again. A separate-admission doubleheader is scheduled for 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Kyle Gibson will start Game 1 for the Phillies and Noah Syndergaard will get the ball for Game 2.
The Phillies are scheduled to close out the regular season with games in Houston on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. "It brings a little more energy and noise in the dugout," Hoskins said of the timing,"but I think, really, just a first-inning run is going to go a long way for us there. I think everybody got to take a deep breath, knowing that we can still score runs.
The Brewers had a chance to pull even with the Phillies on Thursday night but blew a late 2-0 lead when Miami's Avisail Garcia clubbed a grand slam in the top of the eighth inning to give his club a 4-2 win. "We had just landed," Hoskins said."We were on the bus, all huddled around a phone. It was pretty cool to watch."In addition to the first-inning homer, Hoskins had an RBI single in Friday's win. Bailey Falter, roughed up by Atlanta in his previous start, pitched six shutout innings.
