Phillies with a huge win tonight.
They scored 3 runs in the bottom of the 8th off Sandy Alcantara -- who is one of the top 5 pitchers in all of baseball. And they did it with a bunch of singles -- because it's very difficult hitting homers off Alcantara.
Consider only two starting pitchers are top five in both ERA and WHIP: Alcantara and Verlander. However, Alcantara has only given up 8 homers in 166 innings. Verlander has given up 12 in 30 fewer innings.
