So the new right fielder is Domonic Brown. D-Brown had a memorable debut, going 2-3 with two runs and two RBIs as Roy Halladay pitched a complete game 7-1 win over the Diamondbacks. The run was Brown's fault as he dove and allowed the ball to bounce past him instead of taking it on one hop and preventing the run.
The postgame noted that this was the first two-hit game for a Phillie making his major league debut since Lou Marson in 2008. Christine and I were at that game. I wrote:
The 22-year-old went 2-4 with a two-run homer in the 8th. It took me a moment to figure out why fans were booing. (They're not booing, they're saying Boo-urns.) One day we'll tell the kids how we were at the big-league debut of the great Lou Marson.
Maybe it was a little overblown, but Christine told the Marson story to Trent tonight. It made me a little emotional, but pretty much everything makes me a little emotional these days.
The Red Sox finished off a four-game sweep of the Angels. That also made me a little emotional.
