00:06To the bank, Philadelphia.
00:08The Phillies get it done.
00:09Five to nothing over the Strohs.
00:11Nola was fantastic.
00:12Seven shutout innings.
00:14Castellanos hits a three-run home run to get the Phillies the big score.
00:19And what looks to be another look ahead towards October.
00:23Yeah, fantastic win for the Phillies yesterday.
00:25Two aces on the mound.
00:26Now, one in better form than the other.
00:28Waiting for Verlander to try to get back to the Verlander of a couple years ago.
00:32But Aaron Noel, the one thing we do know, usually shows up at home.
00:35And he went seven innings pitched yesterday.
00:37Four hits.
00:38No earned runs.
00:39That's exactly what you want out of your ace.
00:41And in the bottom of the third inning, Dubsey, the Phillies struck for four runs,
00:44which included that three-run home run by Nick Castellanos,
00:48who struggled mightily over the first couple months of the season.
00:51Now looking to turn it on a bit.
00:53The power is back.
00:54The average is now raising up to 250.
00:56That's a great sign for the Philadelphia Phillies moving forward.
00:59And also keep in mind, JT Ryomuto goes two for four yesterday,
01:03fresh off of a couple games ago against Kansas City, having seven RBI.
01:07Good to see him back after struggling after that knee injury.
01:11So maybe the Phillies now turning the corner.
01:13They have a game today where Tyjuan Walker's been on the mound.
01:16We'll talk about this later.
01:17If they can win this game today for a sweep over the Astros
01:20and get a good start out of Tyjuan Walker, that could be massive.
01:24Now also on the opposite end of it.
01:25We're not stressing about the Houston Astros.
01:27They're still the best team in the AL West,
01:29but certainly you don't want to get swept on the road here
01:32against the Philadelphia Phillies.
