The Pink Sox proceed to battle via their hardest stretch of the schedule. Not solely are they going through the Cubs, Phillies and Dodgers out of the All-Star Break, however in addition they received some unlucky luck in the best way Philly reshuffled their rotation.
Regardless of the primary two video games of this sequence being the fourth and fifth video games again from the break, the Phillies are throwing their two finest starters in these two video games. Final night time it was Zack Wheeler, and tonight it’s Christopher Sanchez, who has a 2.50 ERA in 19 begins this season.
Sanchez is left handed, which implies the Pink Sox platoon patrol is out in full drive, with Rob Refsnyder main off and Romy Gonzalez batting fourth. In actual fact, the one two starters who will bat left handed within the early innings for the Sox tonight are Roman Anthony and Masataka Yoshida.
As soon as once more, Dick Fitts may have his work minimize out for him.
