The Phillies had 20 hits and every starter had at least one, led by Bryson Stott’s 3 for 5 night that included a homer and two RBIs. Nick Castellanos added two doubles and three RBIs. The Phillies jumped to a 4-0 lead in the first inning, starting with Schwarber’s leadoff homer that left his bat at more than 111 miles per hour.
