00:06To the bank, Philadelphia.

00:08The Phillies get it done.

00:09Five to nothing over the Strohs.

00:11Nola was fantastic.

00:12Seven shutout innings.

00:14Castellanos hits a three-run home run to get the Phillies the big score.

00:19And what looks to be another look ahead towards October.

00:23Yeah, fantastic win for the Phillies yesterday.

00:25Two aces on the mound.

00:26Now, one in better form than the other.

00:28Waiting for Verlander to try to get back to the Verlander of a couple years ago.

00:32But Aaron Noel, the one thing we do know, usually shows up at home.

00:35And he went seven innings pitched yesterday.

00:37Four hits.

00:38No earned runs.

00:39That's exactly what you want out of your ace.

00:41And in the bottom of the third inning, Dubsey, the Phillies struck for four runs,

00:44which included that three-run home run by Nick Castellanos,

00:48who struggled mightily over the first couple months of the season.

00:51Now looking to turn it on a bit.

00:53The power is back.

00:54The average is now raising up to 250.

00:56That's a great sign for the Philadelphia Phillies moving forward.

00:59And also keep in mind, JT Ryomuto goes two for four yesterday,

01:03fresh off of a couple games ago against Kansas City, having seven RBI.

01:07Good to see him back after struggling after that knee injury.

01:11So maybe the Phillies now turning the corner.

01:13They have a game today where Tyjuan Walker's been on the mound.

01:16We'll talk about this later.

01:17If they can win this game today for a sweep over the Astros

01:20and get a good start out of Tyjuan Walker, that could be massive.

01:24Now also on the opposite end of it.

01:25We're not stressing about the Houston Astros.

01:27They're still the best team in the AL West,

01:29but certainly you don't want to get swept on the road here

01:32against the Philadelphia Phillies.
