One Sentence Summary: The Phillies exploded with a nine-run fourth inning and Rafael Marchan had four RBIs in this 14-10 romp over the Pirates.
What It Means: The World Baseball Classic is getting all the attention, and these games seem like an afterthought.
What Happened: This game was actually tied heading into the ninth inning, but the Phillies scored four unanswered runs off Pirates' reliever Michael Darrell-Hicks. Marchan and Paul McIntosh both had a pair of hits in the win, with Marchan collecting an RBI double early in the fourth inning and a bases-clearing double later in the fourth inning. Otto Kemp, Felix Reyes and Bryan De La Cruz also had key doubles in the game. Rene Pinto hit a three-run home run in the ninth to break the game open.
Featured Card: I'm fresh out of new Marchan cards to feature, so here's a card of Pinto, the other catcher in the game with a big hit.
