Kyle Gibson pitched a gem and Nick Castellanos, Rhys Hoskins and Jean Segura belted home runs to lead the Phillies to a 4-2 win over the Oakland A’s. JSalisburyNBCS of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
Through two games, Phillies starters have 17 strikeouts and no walks. Aaron Nola struck out seven and walked none in six-plus innings Friday.Cole Irvin, who debuted in the majors with the Phillies in 2019, took the loss. He gave up three homers.Castellanos has two extra-base hits in as many games with the Phils. He followed a walk to Bryce Harper in the first inning with a two-out, two-run homer to center.
Manager Joe Girardi made a statement about his concerns over Bohm's defense when he subbed Johan Camargo into the game at third base in the top of the seventh with a four-run lead. Bohm did not receive any action at third while he was in the game. He was on the bubble to make the club in the final week of camp. Bryson Stott got the start at third base in Friday's season opener. The Phillies face a right-hander on Sunday so the lefty-swinging Stott could be back in there.The Phils and Roman Quinn have agreed on a minor-league contract, pending a physical. Quinn spent parts of five seasons with the Phillies. He missed most of last season with a torn Achilles tendon.
Quinn did not make the Miami Marlins out of spring training and became a free agent. With Mickey Moniak and Odubel Herrera on the injured list, the Phils were looking for some center field depth at Triple A.The series with Oakland concludes Sunday afternoon. Zach Eflin will make his season debut against right-hander Daulton Jefferies.
Eflin has not pitched in a regular-season game since July 16 when he went down with patellar tendinitis in his right knee. The injury required season-ending surgery.
