"He's got a lot of fire," Castellanos said. "He's living his dream right now, right? Fresh in the big leagues, a lot of energy ... It's just fun to watch."

Nick Castellanos hit a grand slam, rookie Otto Kemp went 4-for-5 with three runs scored and two RBIs and Alec Bohm also homered and drove in three runs as the Philadelphia Phillies completed a three-game series sweep of the visiting Toronto Blue Jays with an 11-4 victory on Sunday afternoon.

The Phillies offense only finished with four hits, but patience at the plate and Cristopher Sánchez holding the Blue Jays to two runs over seven innings resulted in a 3-2 win Saturday.

Francis allowed just one hit in the first 12 batters he faced. Then he spiralled in the fourth inning, exiting to a raucous Philly crowd.

Kyle Schwarber hit a three-run homer, Ranger Suárez struck out six in seven shutout innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-0 on Friday night.

Ranger Suárez doesn’t throw the hardest. In an era where some pitchers are regularly blazing past triple digits on the radar gun, a fastball that clocks 92 mph puts Suárez in the 12th percentile of major league baseball.

Friday’s outcome felt like it largely came down to one pitch. Sure, the Phillies routed the Blue Jays. However, the momentum of the game hinged on one offering from Kevin Gausman.
