Jesus Luzardo GOT ROCKED for the 2nd straight start as the Phillies fall to the Blue Jays, 9-1. The lefty has now allowed 20 earned runs over his last two starts.

The Phillies bats weren't much better as they mustered just one run for the second straight game. After their six-run first inning of game one of this season, the Phillies offense was able to get just four runners across the plate.

The Philadelphia Phillies fall to the Toronto Blue Jays, 2-1 thanks to a quite night from the bats and a meatball from Jordan Romano!

Phillies starter Mick Abel was impressive in his second big league start. He tossed 5.1 innings allowing one run on three hits and no walks. His night was done after allowing an RBI triple to Bo Bichette to left center field that Brandon Marsh just missed.

The Orion Kerkering took over in the 6th with one out and was able to hold Bichette at third. After Kerkering Matt Strahm and Tanner Banks combined for 6 straight outs.

The problem, however, was that the Phillies bats went ICE COLD. Just five hits in the game and they were unable to produce a run from a bases loaded one out situation in the 5th. Bryce Stott and Trea Turner popped out to end that threat.

Then with the score still tied at one in the 9th, former Blue Jay Jordan Romano came on in relief and surrendered the walk off RBI single to his former catcher Alejandro Kirk.

Phillies and Blue Jays back at it Thursday afternoon at 3:07. Jesus Luzardo takes on Chris Bassitt.

In today's episode, Connor reacts to the Philadelphia Phillies win over the Toronto Blue Jays in a game where the Phils flat out jumped the Jays right from first pitch!

Next, a look at Trea Turner's two homer night, and a discussion about the conflicting principles of what role he is supposed to be filling in the lineup. Finally, a preview of tonight's game 2 and Mick Abel's 2nd career MLB start that could see a drop off in strikeouts when compared to his stellar debut.

The Philadelphia Phillies used a 6-run first inning, two homers from Trea Turner and 6 innings of one-run baseball from Cristopher Sanchez to get by the Blue Jays, 8-3.

In the first, Bryson Stott worked a four-pitch walk, then Trea Turner and Bryce Harper followed with back-to-back homers and just like that the Phillies were off and running with a 3-0 lead.

When the dust settled on Toronto starter Bowden Francis, the Phillies took him for seven runs on seven hits over just 1.2 innings of work.

Bryce Harper went 1-for-4 with a two walks and his homer in his first game back after being hit by a pitch last Tuesday by the Braves’ Spencer Strider. Harper’s first inning homer traveled 394ft.

Turner hit his second homer of the night in the 8th inning, turning on a 3-2 splitter on the hands. He sent it 373 feet over the left field.

Christopher Sanchez picks up the win to improve to 5-1 on the season. He allowed one run coming on a solo homer by Davis Schneider in the 5th.

Phillies send Mick Abel to the mound Wednesday night for game two of this three game set against the Jay’s Jose Berrios.
