Great win after coming from behind to tie it up in the 7th. It pushed the Phillies back over .500 and ensured at least a split with the Yinzers ahead of the final series game. Nick had a couple of RBIs on the afternoon and now has 6 hits in his last five games. You hope this is the turning point for a guy who previously had just one hit in seven April games, who at that time had a .114 average and .358 OPS. He’s improved both numbers to .182 and .444 and is getting on base at a .262 clip. We’re trending upward. Go Phils.
