Phillies open season with offensive drought as Rangers take series
Philadelphia’s offense slumped in the 3-game Opening Series vs. Texas, batting .186 with 18 hits and no homer, marking the worst start since 2015. Despite solid pitching from Nola and Luzardo, the Rangers hit two homers over the weekend while Phillies stars like Turner and Harper struggled to get going, and a few defensive miscues handy to the skid. Manager Rob Thomson urged patience and said the team will settle in, hoping this weekend proves a blip rather than a trend.
