Daily News | Phillies, J.T. Realmuto right at home in opener at Citizens Bank Park, topping Reds, 5-2
returned to Citizens Bank Park on Friday with a different lineup than most expected. Infielder Kody Clemens, who was activated earlier that day, was in the eight hole. Bench outfielder Jake Cave was in the seven hole. Instead of batting second and third, Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins were raising the 2022 National League pennant in Ashburn Alley. Hoskins, who is recovering from left knee ACL surgery, was leaning on a crutch.
In the eighth inning, pinch-hitter Edmundo Sosa saw just one pitch — a 78 mph slider — and hit it 394 feet to give the Phillies a 5-2 lead. It was the first pinch-hit home run of Sosa’s career, and his first home run of the season.
