The Phillies take out the thorn

Trea Turner hit the single that drove in the tying run and Alec Bohm drove in two runs in the seventh inning as the Philadelphia Phillies reacted in time to defeat the Braves in a series that was played with an intensity that made it seem like it was about postseason. .

The victory calmed things down in Philadelphia after Atlanta won the first two games of the season with authority.

It was Philadelphia’s first win of the season… and it almost didn’t happen. The seventh inning was apparently over after Johan Rojas hit a ground ball into what was ruled a fielding double play. After video review, crew chief Mark Wegner announced that the runner at second was put out, but Rojas managed to reach first. The Braves ran off the field, still holding a 3-2 lead.

And just like that, the Phillies had new life. The Braves returned to the field. The crowd got even louder when Kyle Schwarber’s song, Cult of Personality de Living Colour, blared through the speakers. He quickly singled to center, then Trea Turner singled through the right side to send Rojas to the register and tie the game at 3-3.

Turner then stole second and Alec Bohm singled to left field, scoring both Schwarber and Turner to give Philadelphia a 5-3 lead. The Phillies, who looked like they were going to emerge like lambs all afternoon, ended March like lions.

And it all started with a reverse play by Rojas, the ninth batter in the lineup.

That’s the play of the game,” said Schwarber, who began the game with a home run.

Those little things are what win baseball games.”

Rojas is known for his fielding and speed on the bases: the little things that can add up to big moments.

I make the difference with my speed,” said Bryce Harper, who received a scheduled day off and will return to the lineup today.

Firm work by Duarte

Mexican Daniel Duarte made his presentation with the Twins with a couple of blank innings and a couple of strikeouts.

However, the Twins fell 11-0 to the Royals.
