Phillies defeat Rockies 6-1 in home opener

In their home opener, the Philadelphia Phillies overcame a sluggish start to defeat the Colorado Rockies 6-1, rallying late in the game. After being held scoreless for six innings by Rockies starter Germán Márquez, the Phillies exploded offensively in the seventh, sparked by Edmundo Sosa's two-out, two-run double that gave them a 2-1 lead. Kyle Schwarber followed with a two-run homer, extending the lead to 4-1, while Max Kepler and Nick Castellanos added back-to-back homers in the eighth. Cristopher Sánchez pitched effectively, allowing only one run in 5.1 innings, while the Phillies' bullpen preserved the win. The game featured a festive atmosphere as Philadelphia Eagles players Brandon Graham and Saquon Barkley threw out the first pitches. This victory marks the Phillies' third win in four games as they look to build momentum early in the season.
