Andrew Vaughn has a .962 OPS, yet he isn't cracking the lineup every day. That's because he's looked more like a platoon bat since returning from the IL than he did last summer.

Pat Murphy on the Brewers beating Cristopher Sánchez with the long ball this afternoon:
"When that Perkins ball went out of the yard, the reality set in ... I don't care how great you are, that gets to you. He gave them a couple more innings, but it affected him."

Harrison's velocity and whiffs ticked back up in the fourth through sixth innings. He said Gary Sánchez told him he was moving slower than usual in his delivery, and things clicked into place after that.
"It was great on Gary's part. He told me, 'Hey man, you need to move quicker. I don't like that slow stuff.'"

Kyle Harrison's velocity was down a touch this afternoon, and he only recorded three strikeouts. More whiffs the second time through, though.
Also mixed in a few two-seamers that had some decent separation from the four-seamer.

Cooper Pratt appears to be headed to the big leagues. Just got pulled from the game, hugging teammates and fighting tears through a big smile in the dugout.

Blake Perkins had some better right-handed swings over the last month than the results showed.
His first home run of the year comes as a right-handed batter against Cristopher Sánchez.

After his second multi-homer game this month, Jackson Chourio is up to a 156 wRC this season. Pat Murphy noted that his swing decisions have taken off lately -- less chase, and more in-zone swing.
"He missed the first month, and now his strike-ball is getting elite. That's what happens when you wait for a strike."

Pat Murphy on Chad Patrick's struggles:
"Once you get clocked once, some of it is tough coming back ... He just didn't throw the ball the way we wanted to, and it got away from him in a hurry."

Drohan came back to the two-strike pitches when reviewing his start postgame.
"A couple of them needed to be a little bit more up or a little bit more down. When you have a good lineup like that, they're able to take advantage of it."

Shane Drohan is largely pitching fine but is having a tough time putting hitters away in the fourth.
RBI double and RBI single after getting to two strikes early against both hitters.

Final: Phillies 9, Brewers 8
Milwaukee was down 8-3 at one point and almost came back, but fell just short. The trajectory of this one changed with another rough outing for Chad Patrick.

Pat Murphy said yesterday that Andrew Vaughn playing third base wouldn't be "in the cards on a daily basis," but that he trusted him there if necessary.
After a pair of pinch-hits in a three-run eighth inning, Vaughn is playing third for the second time this week.
