PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Trea Turner stole home, Kyle Schwarber hit a solo shot and Aaron Nola struck out seven in eight innings to help the Philadelphia Phillies complete a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox with an 8-2 win on Sunday.
Bryce Harper added a sacrifice fly and an RBI single on his best friend the Phillie Phanatic’s birthday to complete an 8-2 homestand for the Phillies. After splitting a four-game series with Pittsburgh, the Phillies fattened their record with series sweeps of Colorado and the White Sox.
“We played really well the entire time,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. “We got great pitching, starting pitching. Really good at-bats. Played exceptional defense today. I just thought we were really good.”
Beating the White Sox was pretty much a given on a windy, chilly day in Philly.
The big question -- how long would it take for the White Sox to get a hit?
