On his replica jersey day, Kyle Schwarber broke out of his slump and was a key player in the Phillies 8-4 win over the Royals.
YOU DON’T SEE THIS VERY OFTEN. . .
Royals catcher Salvador Perez had to leave Sunday’s game with a left hand contusion after being hit by a pitch in the second inning. Since back-up catcher Freddy Fermin was in the lineup as the designated hitter, it meant that he had to move behind the plate and the Royals lost their DH for the rest of the game, with pitcher Zack Greinke replacing Perez as the No. 3 hitter.Curtis Mead, regarded by some as the Tampa Bay Rays top prospect, made his big league debut last Friday.
And why does that matter down at One Citizens Bank Way, Philadelphia 19148? Well, because on November 20, 2019 during the owner’s meetings, the Phillies traded Mead to the Rays for talented but inconsistent lefthander Cristopher Sanchez. To suggest that this didn’t attract a lot of attention at the time is an understatement. The Inquirer dismissed it with a single sentence buried deep in a story that focused on MLB’s proposal to eliminate 42 minor league clubs including the Phillies Williamsport affiliate. The next item was about additions and subtractions to the 40-man roster.
You never know. Sanchez has been a godsend since being called up in May when the Phillies were desperately seeking a fifth starter. And even if Mead become a star for the Rays, the Phillies infield seems set for years with Alec Bohm at third or first, Trea Turner at shortstop and Bryson Stott at second.RHP Josiah Gray vs. RHP Zack Wheeler Tuesday at 6:40 p.m.LHP Patrick Corbin vs. RHP Aaron Nola Thursday at 6:40 p.m.
