The Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays will meet in game two of their MLB series on Wednesday (September 21). Game one was a scoring fest that ended 18-11 in favor of the away team.
It was a terrible outing for the pitchers in general, but especially for the Phillies. They used as many as six pitchers looking to control the tempo but ended up giving away 16 earned runs.
Kyle Schwarber and Realmuto tried to solidify the innings but to no avail. The Phillies gave away more than they scored. Toronto, meanwhile, were able to score more than they let go. Matt Chapman, Teoscar Hernandez and Alejandro Kirk were amongst the top scorers for the Blue Jays.

The Citizens Bank Park witnessed an enthralling game between two teams going into full flow.
Game 2 is expected to follow a similar trend where both offenses could have a go at each other. Toronto needed the win more than Philadelphia, as they still have a chance to make the playoffs. Philadelphia, though, is out of the reckoning.

Toronto will look to continue their winning momentum to stay ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays, who are third in the American League East division.
If Toronto clean sweeps the Phillies, they will bolster their hopes of qualification. Game 2 promises another exciting three hours, like the first game.
