Austin Hayes heading out to left field getting greeted by the Phillies fans and he was excited to get things rolling. I asked him about wearing number nine. He said I was given the option of nine or 19. He said, so I've never had a single digit. So I decided to go to number nine, Tyler Phillips ready to go here tonight. He makes his third ever start in the majors here tonight. There's a ball wrapped in the right field that will get down a nice save by Casto that would have gotten by him. Guan would still be running. He hit the ball right on the button and it gets down and you're right. Castano did make a nice play to catch it. He thought he was going to have a chance, but that had some top spin to it, but he picks it anyway. So it will be a single for Steven Phillips gets one to bounce out to second stop to second for one turner to first. There's a nifty 46 to 3 double play. He will take that all day long fly ball right field pretty well hit Castanos back, he's under it. And he makes the catch a few steps from the wall and the side is retired nine pitches in the top of the first Carlos Carrasco. This will be the seventh time in his career and the fifth start against Philadelphia in his last outing came the only appearance he had in this ballpark was last June, the pitch to him and he puts one up in the air, fouled down the third near the tarp and reaching out and grabbing it for the out is jose ramirez Rascal working quickly and he strikes him out with a slider on the outside corner, the two to swing and he struck him out with a beautiful curve ball to end the inning. The Phillies go 123. Phillips lets it fly. Fry rips one to left. That's a base hit near the line. Hayes over to cut it off and David Fry on an 02 pitch stays hot to first caught out of the air by Harper and Then he touches the first base bag back to back innings. Back to back, double plays. Heck of a play by Harp dives into foul territory and Then just reaches over and taps the bag 1 to 1 pitch. A Hammer shot into right field. Giano plays it on a hop already. Three hits for the Guardians runner goes, pitch pulled on the ground to third. It's a fair ball from the bag ball flips across the diamond side is retired no runs, two hits one lap. Second, double play. We head to the second ball will lead it off. Here is the payoff pitch, a swing and a miss it took eight pitches to get him but carlos strikes him out. That's three consecutive K's for right field near the line. But moving over will Brennan slides and makes the catch for out. Number two. Got him looking a fastball frozen at the dish six up, six down. No score through two Phillips wins in the 2 to 2 fly ball center field pretty well hit Marsh glides back toward the fence at the wall. Reaches up and makes the catch. He had it the hallway. No 123 go. The Guardians. The pitch, a swing and a roller to first handled by Noel flips to Carrasco who barely beat stop to the bag. The number nine hitter, Austin Hayes just coming over from Baltimore in a trade yesterday and the Philly fans, supposedly the most cruel fans in sports are giving him a standing ovation gets a base hit against the right and he first hit of the day for the Phils first hit in the Phillies career. Austin Hay and a little first hit bat on your new team. You want to show them that you didn't make a mistake. That first base hit you go swing and a Miss Carasco with five strikeouts. What a start for Carlos no score after three. Here's the pitch from Phillips swung on line drive to right base hit for ramirez. The Guardian's fourth hit ramirez now one for two with a one out single here in the fourth inning runner goes pitches Lowe and a stolen base number 19 for Ramirez. He had time beautifully that time. Groundball left side. Bohm smothers it down to a knee. He hops up, throws it across retired. Stay put at second is Ramirez little topper over to first Harper has it. He'll just take it to the bag. Three unassisted seven ground ball outs. Guardians leave one. We head to the bottom of the fourth two is a high bouncer left side scooped up and Then bobbled by Ramirez and Turner will be safe. I think he would have a hard time throwing him out. Harper struck out swinging his first time up field going back to the it is done. The 1/100 Citizens Bank park home run for Bryce Harper. It goes the opposite way and the Phillies take a two nothing lead number 24 on the season for Harper. And when your team is struggling , you turn to your stars and the Phillies get a big blow from Bryce Harper here in the fourth inning to snap the scoreless tie. Mars struck out his first time up as his extended stretch continues without a base hit. That one is hooked deep to right field. It's not coming back, is done off the auxiliary score. Brad and Marsh ends it. Zero for 20 a two run home run. Four, nothing filled. I would say he got that one liner to left field coming over his quan. He won't get it. He'll play it topper over the mound. Waiting for it is he wasn't sure it's going to be an infield hit to third. Jose goes to second. There's one on the first again. They beat it out. Salmon's six and zero record of 372. Here a tonight is 43rd appearance. Kyle Schwarber. The batter straight away center , it is three. Kyle Schwarber. The Phillies have hit three home , they lead it 7 to 0. Castano's first up here for the Phils opposite way back is Brennan to the wall. It's gone into the first row just above the fence, 15 home run of the year and the fourth one of the night for the Phils, there's a rocket on one hop off the wall and right and Schwarber on his way to second will get there with his 10th double of the year. He has a two run homer to left tonight. He sends this little blooper into shallow left out as Ramirez , the third baseman makes the catch 80. Phillies lead the Guardian. Sometimes the starting pitcher is lost in a game like this, but you can't lose sight of what this young man has done. Castanos doesn't miss many innings fouled territory, third base side and Sosa makes the catch Wheeler back there is a front of the plate. Muto waits for it, foul territory out to shortstop. He's going to be three outs away from it as Turner throws to get Redden and that's to win your first three career starts pretty impressive. Gets another ground ball out as we go to the bottom of the eighth inning. Fowler Phillips begins the ninth inning, eight shutout innings so far, he's now just four hits. The 26 year old right hander who has really continued what he was doing in the minor leagues here in the big leagues is floating in some rarified air right now. He got his third strikeout one away here in the ninth inning check swing. He went around back to back strikeouts and now 2 to 2 with everybody on their feet and the pitch, fly ball left field, Austin Hayes is over. He's under, it makes the catch and 26 year old Tyler Bills has scattered four hits in a complete game shutout as the Phillies win it eight to nothing. The remarkable story of a South Jersey Phillies fan continues to be written here at Citizens Bank Park.
