Bryce Harper is going on the paternity list, the #Phillies announced. Kody Clemens will be called up from triple-A Lehigh Valley.

After an 8-8 start and questions about an offense that wasn’t clicking, they welcomed the Rockies and White Sox and well, they walloped them.

Six games, six victories, including Sunday’s 8-2 thumping of the White Sox.

Bump

Phanatic ejected from his birthday party today for throwing over the head of his mom. Hit her in the face with a pitch in 2011. Might be some issues there.

Rob Thomson said pregame that the Phillies rotation tries to “outdo each other.”

Spencer Turnbull took a no-hitter into the seventh on Friday. So, naturally, Zack Wheeler took one into the eighth in Saturday’s 9-5 win against the White Sox:

inquirer.com/phillies/phill… 'You kind of started to get that feeling of the Lorenzen night last year.' On Spencer Turnbull's Friday night gem and why workload considerations likely will make him the odd-man out (for now) in the #Phillies ' rotation. From The Philadelphia Inquirer: ⬇️⬇️

After five years battling Acute Myeloid Leukemia, my mom passed earlier this week.

I’d like to tell you a little bit about her.

I know some don’t like to call bouts with cancer “battles,” but I do so as to not diminish my mom’s trials the last several years. Hers was a fight,

In ST, Jeff Hoffman gave Spencer Turnbull some advice. Turnbull had never pitched out of the bullpen. He wasn't sure how it would go.

“Try to be like water,' he said. 'Be fluid.'

Turnbull is now back in the rotation, but Hoffman's words still apply: inquirer.com/phillies/spenc…

Spencer Turnbull allows his first hit of the night with one out in the seventh. He gets an ovation from the crowd.

Alec Bohm in the 1st inning: 3-run homer to right field.
Alec Bohm in the 3rd inning: 3-run homer to left field.

“You see guys throwing 100-102 and they get shelled. And you see guys throwing 90 or 88 and they get outs. So it’s all about getting outs and mixing pitches and keeping them off balance.”

Taijuan Walker could rejoin the rotation as soon as next weekend: inquirer.com/phillies/phill…

“It’s really much different from the Aprils I’ve been with Schwarber, because [in the past] it’s been a grind and hasn't been much fun. To see him having this success in April is a breath of fresh air.”

Kyle Schwarber is off to a better start. Here's why: inquirer.com/phillies/kyle-…
