Your Tuesday Morning Roundup

The Phillies actually did earn the win over one of the best pitchers in the game last night at Citizens Bank Park, 4-3, thanks to a big grand slam from Aaron Altherr. Not only is it a rarity for a team to earn a win against Kershaw, but Altherr going yard with the bases juiced was even farther fetched:
Aaron Altherr's grand slam was the first Clayton Kershaw has allowed in his Major League career.

Tyler Trumbauer is a young Philly sports junkie who didn’t believe in the Process, but now is grateful that Sam Hinkie died for his sins. He’s aptly described as a guy with a little talent, a lot of luck, and great timing.
