It looks like Jones needs to build up his stamina to everyday status.

In that case, I like Dyson in RF and Marte in CF with Peralta back for today's game.

Good support for Duplantier.

The Philly humidity is predicted as 32% going up to 46% during the game, a large
drop from yesterday's pouring rain. And the wind is blowing in from left-center.

That should send the HR onslaught back to normal.

When you think about it, it's not surprising. The D-backs are weak in manufacturing runs. Their success depends
upon conditions.

Last night, the humidity had balls flying out of the yard. Tonight, the humidity is down and the wind is blowing in.
They still try to lift everything and they are blanking. Sadly, following last night's spectacular, it was inevitable.

The lack of creativity by the coaching staff is leaving the team's success to chance. That produces a .500 record.

And with a Phillies 3-run homer and a run scoring double in the 2nd, the D-backs are
down 4-0.

But, hey, Carson Kelly with a 2-out 2-run double in the 4th and the lead is cut in half.
He should be starting 4 out of every 5 games behind the plate.

Walker is pinch-hitting for Duplantier, but strands the runner on 2nd. But we're back
in the game. McFarland in to pitch the bottom of the 4th. Duplantier just did not
have it today. He lasted only three innings.

And the Dbacks get a walk, a single and a Sac Fly to score a run :)

Escobar drives in our third run and it's a 1-run game.

'Good to see the D-backs playing baseball.

Aw, Cron strikes out again to end the inning.

Sloppy fielding by the D-backs leads to a run, followed by another.

6-3 Phillies with two outs in the 5th.
