On the fourth of April, the Phillies notched their first win on the season on the road against the New York Yankees, 4-1.
NEW YORK — A few hours before game time Tuesday, Brandon Marsh took stock of the energy around the Phillies clubhouse. They were 0-4 to start the season, but he wasn’t too concerned.
Strahm didn’t disappoint. In his first start since Aug. 17, 2021 — when he threw just one inning as an opener for the Padres — the left-hander gave the Phillies four shutout innings of one-hit, one-walk ball en route to a 4-1 win over the Yankees.In the fourth inning, he struck out Aaron Judge, then let out a yell toward the Yankees dugout.
Strahm concedes that he is a perfectionist, which is why his last extended stint as a starter, in 2019 with San Diego, was so frustrating for him. Strahm had a five-pitch arsenal at his disposal, but found himself over-thinking. He’d try to, and realized that he wasn’t throwing pitches the same way he did out of the bullpen.
As a reliever who had just three weeks to hastily build his workload up, he was perhaps the last person the Phillies expected to give them four innings of scoreless ball. But on Tuesday night, in front of 35,392 raucous fans at Yankee Stadium, he showed he had learned something from that disappointing 2019 season. He wasn’t tentative. He wasn’t holding himself back. Instead, he pitched with conviction.
