Daily News | Phillies-Marlins instant analysis for Wednesday online/Thursday print
It’s an ages-old baseball proverb that great pitching beats hot hitting, and for seven innings, that couldn’t have been more true. Sandy Alcantara, the Miami Marlins’ brilliant right-hander, barely broke a sweat in setting down the Phillies, who in the last two weeks have averaged nearly a half-dozen runs per game.
How improbable was this? Look no further than Schwarber, a seasoned veteran who has been to the postseason in all but one season of his career. But after surviving an ill-advised first-to-third dash on Alec Bohm’s single to right field and scoring on J.T. Realmuto’s single, he pumped his fist and yelled as he crossed home plate and 23,021 fans at Citizens Bank Park made enough noise for 43,021.
None other than Jimmy Rollins got caught up in the emotion of the eighth inning. He chimed in during the eighth inning on social media — “This @Phillies team has IT!! It has taken some@time but they are here to WIN!!” he tweeted — and challenged fans to start filling the ballpark, like in the good, old days.
“These are playoff games, and we’re going to face pitchers like that every night once we get to the playoffs,” Realmuto said. “We just have to do what we do, grind out our at-bats. It’s not always going to be easy when you’re facing good pitching like that, but we’ve just got to grind ‘em out.” It was right up there with rallying to beat Josh Hader in the ninth inning in Milwaukee on June 7 and Stott’s walk-off homer after Bryce Harper’s grand slam against the Angels on June 5.
“[Pitching coach] Caleb [Cotham] and I got to work a lot between starts this time and made quite a bit of adjustments, especially on my slider and my delivery,” said Syndergaard, who allowed two runs on six hits and two walks in six innings. “It was definitely one to build off of.”By most metrics, Nick Castellanos rates among the worst defensive outfielders in the majors. But he saved a run in the first inning.
