Tonight's 7-4 win over the Red Sox was amazing on so many levels.
Consider...
• After playing like absolute crap for a week, they scored 7 runs on 12 hits.
• They equaled their win total from last year tonight, Aug. 15.
• Wilson Ramos, straight off the disabled list, became an instant folk hero by hitting his first triple in 7 years. He finished the night with 3 hits and 3 RBI.
• The bullpen stepped up big time after Vince Velasquez struggled. They held baseball's best team to 1 run over 6.2 innings.
• They kept pace with the Braves and remain 2 games out of first and currently hold the second wild card playoff spot.
This team needed this win in the worst way. And they went toe-to-toe with the Red Sox and finished the season series with them at 2 wins each. They outscored the Red Sox over the 4 games.
Exhale, Phillies fans. This team seems to have some serious fight in them. Now they need to carry this momentum over to the weekend series against the Mets.
