The Phillies are not going well, having lost eight of nine games. They’ll try to end that skid and avoid a sweep in Pittsburgh on Sunday behind Cristopher Sanchez. The left hander won in his last outing, giving up just one run in six innings.

The highlights were few and far between today for the Phillies. Ranger Suarez was very good yet again, making it difficult to say that he should be the one to move to the bullpen in the near future. The game got off to a decent start when Kyle Schwarber destroyed a baseball to give the Phillies a brief lead.
