NEW YORK — A few hours before game time, Brandon Marsh took stock of the energy around the Phillies clubhouse. They were 0-and-4 to start the season, but he wasn’t too concerned.
“I don’t see any frowns,” Marsh said. He looked over at Matt Strahm, who was sitting across the room, preparing for his start against the Yankees later that night.
“We got Pastrami on the bump today,” Marsh said. “I’m ready to watch him compete. And play some better defense behind him. He’s the man. I’ll go to war with that dude any day.”
