One Sentence Summary: Cristopher Sanchez put on a changeup clinic and the Phillies scored five runs in the first inning in this 6-4 win.
What It Means: They split the four-game series with the Giants, and now the Marlins come to town for an Easter Weekend series against the Phillies.
What Happened: Sanchez struck out 12 batters over seven innings, the most by a Phillies lefty starter since Cole Hamels' no-hitter in 2015. He improved to 2-0, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk. Jose Alvarado gave up a solo home run in the ninth to Tyler Fitzgerald, but managed to secure his fourth save.

The Phillies jumped on Giants' starter Jordan Hicks early. In the first, Bryson Stott and Trea Turner singled and Bryce Harper walked to load the bases. Kyle Schwarber brought two runs home with an RBI single, and Nick Castellanos added a third run with another single. Alec Bohm capped the five-run inning with a triple to center to score Castellanos. An Edmundo Sosa sacrifice fly in the eighth gave the Phillies an important insurance run.
