In a game without tomorrow for the Miami Marlins, their opponents made sure that there would be no tomorrow.
Indeed, after a start that could be described as slow, the Philadelphia Phillies opened the valves by scoring two runs in the third inning, courtesy of a double from Kyle Schwarber and a single from Trea Turner.
Then, an inning later, catcher JT Realmuto blasted Braxton Garrett’s offering deep to left field.
The 3-0 score remained unchanged until the sixth inning, when after an error by Jake Burger, Bryson Stott sent Andrew Nardi’s shot to the other side of the fence for nothing less than a grand slam.
The crowd gathered at Citizens Bank Park, already very involved in the game since the first pitch of the game, jumped up in one go and never calmed down for the rest of the evening.
It was then over for Pisces, who were then trailing by a score of 7-0 and who finally lost 7-1 against an Aaron Nola in full possession of his means.
However, it must be emphasized that they will still have had an excellent 2023 campaign in addition to being able to look to the future with great optimism.
The Phillies will now face the dangerous Atlanta Braves in the Division Series on Saturday. If there’s one club that can dislodge the best team in MLB this season, it’s the one from the City of Brotherly Love.
With the Milwaukee Brewers losing to the Arizona Diamondbacks, however, that means we’ll have to live two days without baseball. Damage.
