Astros SS Chase Williams made several solid plays at SS, including a relay to 3B to throw out a runner trying to stretch a double into a triple in the first inning.

Summary

The Phillies took the first game of their season against the Astros in what could be two playoff powerhouses this season. The weather was cold, raw and windy and defense suffered, but both teams hit the strike zone with combinations of several pitchers. Back to back Phillies 5 run rallies in the 4th and 5th inning provided a cushion despite the Astros chipping away with a 5 spot of their own in the final frame. Philles win 10-7.
