The Fightins hope to have short memories after blowing a 5-0 lead on Opening Day on their way to a horrific 11-7 loss to the Rangers.
Despite the loss, not all was bad for the Phillies.
Offensively, the Phils looked as advertised especially from the power department accounting for seven extra-base hits and seven runs on Thursday. 3B Alec Bohm was the star of the game for the Phils, the 26-year old went 3-for-4 with 3 RBIs and was a single short of the cycle. Trea Turner, J.T. Realmuto, Nick Castellanos, and Brandon Marsh joined the extra-base hit parade and 1B Darrick Hall was robbed of a late-inning home run.

The Philadelphia Phillies blew a 5-0 lead to the Texas Rangers enroute to a brutal 11-7 loss on Opening Day in Arlington, Texas. The loss marks the 10th consecutive game the Phils have lost to the Rangers dating back to 2014.
The Phillies jumped all over the Rangers’ new ace Jacob deGrom tagging him for six earned runs including SEVEN extra base hits in 3-2/3 innings. Prior to this afternoon, deGrom had been nearly unhittable when facing the Phillies as a member of the New York Mets.
3B Alec Bohm came up a triple shy of the cycle going 3-for-4, with a HR, 2B, 2R, and 3 RBIs. Trea Turner and Brandon Marsh each drove in a run off of deGrom. Turner added to the hurlers bad scoring on a 4th inning wild pitch.
The Phillies offense was on fire and handed Nola a 5-0 lead heading into the Rangers half of the 4th inning.

But alas it was not enough to rejoin the team.
