The Astros Benefit From the Rainout Just as Much as the Phillies

Marcus Hayes: Aaron Nola and Rhys Hoskins return Red October to the Phillies with magical performances

PHILADELPHIA — They’d been through the worst of it. Through the rebuild, and the losing, and the failed prospects and the empty seats and the last four managers and the dead Octobers.

The Philadelphia Inquirer

Phillies ride Aaron Nola, Rhys Hoskins to 9-1 win over Braves and move one win from NLCS

PHILADELPHIA — Years from now, when they roll highlights from the 2022 Phillies’ postseason run, the clip of Rhys Hoskins demolishing a ball into the left-field seats, raising both arms, and spiking his bat — and let’s be clear: this was a Jalen Hurts-quality spike — will play prominently.

Phillies ride Matt Vierling’s 5-for-5 night to end five-game losing streak in 10 innings, 4-3

PHILADELPHIA -- A big reason — perhaps the biggest reason — why the Phillies are within reach of meaningful baseball in October is because of their depth.
