The Phillies received exactly the sort of start they needed Tuesday from Matt Strahm along with a bounce-back bullpen effort in a 4-1 win over the Yankees, their first of 2023. CSeidmanNBCS of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
Andrew Bellatti pitched a 1-2-3 fifth with two strikeouts.
Connor Brogdon worked two scoreless innings, covering the seventh and eighth. Seranthony Dominguez was unavailable after pitching an inning Monday night. McKinley Moore, a right-handed reliever called up earlier in the day, warmed up prior to the eighth just in case. Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Dominguez was fine, just"a little bit tight."
"Tonight, we're going to figure it out for sure," Bellatti said about two hours prior to first pitch. "Historically, the bullpen for the Phillies the last few years hasn't been what we've wanted it to be. Last year, we kind of turned the corner, and then this year, adding veteran guys definitely brings a lot of expectations.
The Phillies' offense woke up after scoring one run in two straight games. Kyle Schwarber hit a solo home run on the second pitch of the game and Brandon Marsh crushed a 436-footer to right-center on a full count to lead off the third. Marsh made two bad mistakes in Monday's loss, misplaying a ball in center and missing a stop sign at third base, but he's been hitting to start the year with two doubles, a triple and a homer.
