Philadelphia: After taking two or three from the San Diego Padres, the Philadelphia Phillies would return home to open a weekend series against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night at Citizens Bank Park in South Philadelphia.
The Phillies would take down the Reds 4-2 & here are some of my takeaways from the game
Zach Eflin performance:
Zach Eflin will get the start for the Phillies and he had some good stuff early on and what have a couple Innings wear it would be a 1-2-3 shutdown inning.
Eflin would go 6.1 Innings, 6 strikeouts, 2 runs, 4 hits on 95 pitches
Jay Bruce does it again:
This game would mark the home debut of Jay Bruce who the Phillies acquired in a trade last week from the Seattle Mariners
First at bat at home for Bruce:
In the fifth inning with the Phillies down one nothing Jay Bruce would come up and he was a blast a two-run home run to give the Phillies the lead
