00:00Elsewhere last night, Phillies beat the Padres 4-0.

00:04We got a couple of bell ringings last night.

00:06Why don't we get this one involved here.

00:08NBC Sports Philly for Nick Castellanos ringing the bell.

00:12Ding, ding.

00:13Lines that one to deep left field.

00:14Does it have enough height?

00:15It does!

00:17Sola home run!

00:18Swung at the first pit.

00:19He sure did.

00:21It's his 10th home run of the year.

00:24And the Phillies are on top 4-0.

00:27Springer just hit a home run off of Freed Chicken.

00:32It's 2-1.

00:34Did he get injured last night and he's out there hitting home runs today?

00:38He did.

00:39I guess he was okay.

00:41Also last night in that game, Zach Wheeler, 8 innings, 6 hits, no runs, 10 Ks.

00:46What a month of June he had.

00:47A 0.58 in the month of June for the Phillies as he was outstanding.

00:54I wanted to give you this too because I saw it last night

00:56and I thought it was interesting.

00:57Harper came back last night.

00:58Remember he had that wrist injury a couple weeks ago.

01:01He was on the IL.

01:03It kind of sounds to me like it's still a problem.

01:08And I don't know if he like just, he kind of says it wasn't getting anywhere,

01:12but he doesn't seem very confident that this injury has gone away

01:17even though he's come off the IL.

01:18Yeah, I didn't think I was going to take any other steps forward of feeling better

01:24or anything like that.

01:25I thought we were kind of at a standstill of it feeling the same the last couple days

01:30and, you know, from VP to live and things like that kind of gave us the same results each day.

01:37So, I thought today was a good one.

01:40Is it something you're going to have to manage, though, in your mind?

01:43Yeah, I mean, I would imagine so.

01:45I'm not sure yet what that's going to feel like.

01:48So, we're going to, you know, as I go, I think, and as I know you guys will,

01:53and Tomper as well.

01:55So, we'll see, you know, how I feel tonight, tomorrow.

02:00I have no idea what just happened there.

02:03I really, he did look a little bit like a walrus.

02:06He really sounds like it's still bothering him is what it sounds to me.

02:10And I don't know if he felt pressure to come back because the offense has been sputtering

02:14a little bit with him out of it or what.

02:16But you know what usually happens then, Scotty?

02:19He hurts it again, worse.

02:21That's usually what happens when you come back too soon.

02:24Hopefully, that doesn't.

02:25Well, it would be a shame.

02:27That's for sure.

02:28Let's go next to the Buccos, who are on fire right now.

02:33Can you believe it?

02:34The Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-0 blanking of the Cardinals last night.

02:39They moved this Spencer Horowitz up into the leadoff spot.

02:44He homered to start the game.

02:46Clearing the bases in his second at-bat, Sportsnet Pittsburgh.

02:50Last year, the big league level with Toronto.

02:53He hits this hard to left.

02:55And this is going to travel over the head of Brendan Donovan.

02:59And this will score a couple of runs.

03:01Spencer Horowitz is the Pirates' leadoff hitter.

03:07Homer and a two-run double and a 3-0 lead.

03:13I can't even believe it because I just want to say how bad he sucks, truly, as a player.

03:19Like, this guy, they got him.

03:21Listen, they actually sold us that they got this guy because of his bat.

03:28And he's got two home runs the whole year.

03:34Like, two home runs.

03:36I mean, I'd hit two home runs.

03:40I mean, how do you sign a guy for his bat and he has two home runs?

03:46Now, last night he had a home run and a double.

03:48I mean, it's like a miracle from heaven.

03:50It really is.

03:51Because every time I watch, like, that guy bat, now two things have happened this year.

03:56I actually, I saw Henry Davis have a hit on this show live one day.

04:02It was the first time that's ever happened, that I've ever seen him actually have a hit.

04:05And then the other day, he went four for four in a game.

04:08And I literally, I didn't eat food the whole day that day when he went four for four.

04:14I gave my dinner up to the poor down the street in Hell's Kitchen.

04:19I just let him have my dinner because it was the first time I ever saw that guy have four hits.

04:22And now I've seen Spencer Horowitz hit his second home run.

04:27I mean, it is, it really is a Christmas miracle in July.

04:30July 1st, a Christmas miracle.
