We moved our oldest son into his college dorm on Wednesday morning. He's not too far away, but it was still a roller coaster of a day and we'd have even more "memorable" moments on Thursday. We listened to the end of this game on the way home, happy the Phillies were giving us a non-stressful win and secure in the knowledge Doug was where he was meant to be. The sky is the limit for that kid.
What Happened: The piling on didn't come until late in the game, as the Phillies scored eight times in the final two innings. Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the first, Trea Turner tripled and Kyle Schwarber brought him home with a sacrifice fly. They'd take the lead for good on an RBI-double from Bryson Stott in the second. Max Kepler (13) and Schwarber (45) both homered. Kepler and Stott both had three-hit days, with Stott batting .500 (6 for 12, two doubles, home run) in the series.
