Daily News | Edmundo Sosa leads Phillies’ revived offense to 4-3 victory over Reds
CINCINNATI — Before the start of every series, the Phillies hold scouting meetings. The pitchers go over opposing hitters; the hitters review opposing pitchers. It’s a good time to bring up new topics or raise concerns.
“That was incredible watching him,” said Noah Syndergaard, who won for the second time in three Phillies starts. “I’m going to draw it up and try to get more balls hit to him and have him save the day.” Sosa flashed his usual defense to help Syndergaard hold the lead. He dived to his right to take a hit from Jose Barrero in the fourth inning, then made a sliding stop in the hole behind second base with the Phillies playing a shift to gobble up Michael Papierski’s bid for a leadoff hit in the fifth.“I would have to say the one where I dove towards the third-base line,” Sosa said through a team translator.
