PHLY Phillies Podcast: Philadelphia Phillies Get Tested Vs. The Mighty LA Dodgers

🔴 Cristopher Sánchez Makes HISTORY + Phillies-Dodgers Series Preview ft. Heidi Watney | Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV+ The Philadelphia Phillies are riding one of the most dominant stretches of pitching in franchise history — and we’re breaking it ALL down! Cristopher Sánchez has extended his scoreless innings streak to a jaw-dropping 44⅔ innings, officially setting the all-time Phillies franchise record by surpassing Hall of Famer Grover Cleveland Alexander — a record that had stood since 1911, over 115 years ago. Sánchez went at least seven scoreless innings for the fifth straight start, becoming just the sixth pitcher in MLB history to accomplish that feat. We dive deep into what’s fueling this historic run and what it means for one of baseball’s hottest teams. When, the Phillies head west for a massive series against the defending World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Zack Wheeler gets the ball for Friday’s series opener at Dodger Stadium, where he’ll face a lineup that leads the Majors in batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage — featuring Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani, and Mookie Betts. Wheeler enters with a 1.67 ERA through six starts, with the Phillies going a perfect 6-0 in those games. Plus, we’re joined by a very special guest — Heidi Watney, field reporter for Apple TV+’s Friday Night Baseball, who brings nearly four years of experience covering MLB on the streaming platform — giving us the inside scoop on the Phillies-Dodgers showdown and what to watch for on tonight’s broadcast.
