One Sentence Summary: Rafael Marchan starred at and behind the plate as the Phillies held on (barely) to win this game, 5-4.
What It Means: The rain in the area washed out Wednesday night, resulting in a day-night double header on Thursday.
What Happened: Marchan hit his first home run of the year, a two-run shot in the second inning, giving the Phillies an early lead. With the score tied 4-4, and the bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth, Marchan was hit with a pitch by Daysbel Hernandez to drive home the eventual winning run. He also threw out two would-be basestealers on the day. Not to be completely lost in Marchan's shadow, Nick Castellanos was 4 for 4. Kyle Schwarber hit his 19th home run of the season, a solo shot, in the seventh. Only Shohei Ohtani has more with 20.
