- Big week for the Phillies. While the Braves lose to the Red Sox and travel to Arizona this weekend, the Phils play Miami and the mets. Now, the Phillies need to beat those lesser teams, but this is the week for make up ground on Atlanta, who are now 3 games up in National League East.
- Santana hit lead-off, actually swung the bat, and had a big night, including a lead-off home run. I still think Quinn should bat 1st when he plays, but anything we get out of Santana is a bonus.
- Getting the lead and tacking on runs, something the Phillies have not done much of this season, was key. Arrieta struck-out 11 and the Phils cruised.
- Atlanta finishes their series with the Red Sox at noon, while the Phils play tonight, as do the slumping Nationals, who return to Philadelphia next week for the final time this season.
