Luzardo fanned 11 batters Saturday — tied for second-most by a pitcher in his Phillies debut — in a Bryson Stott and Brandon Marsh-powered knee-slapper in Washington, D.C.

Turner was scratched from Saturday’s lineup with a lower back spasm, while Realmuto was lifted from the game after fouling a ball off of his left foot. Both will be reevaluated on Sunday.

Stott joined The Inquirer’s baseball show to discuss still being in “day care,” why “A-OK” isn’t going anywhere, and how “Philadelphia living” is apparent in how he roots for the Buckeyes.

Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown shared a video on opening day of him asking his son if he wanted to play professional baseball. Then he told him what it would take.

The struggle against lefties is real, the bullpen is ever-changing, and what will the impact of their top prospect have on the Phillies, whenever he arrives?

Opening day begins with pageantry and ends with overreactions. Let’s break down what we learned from the Phillies’ 10-inning win and decide what’s worth buying and selling.

The Phillies overcame 19 strikeouts and a late blown two-run lead to score four runs in the 10th, highlighted by a two-run double by Bohm.

With the Phillies set to face a right-hander in the second game Saturday, Kyle Schwarber likely will bat in the leadoff spot.

Phillies batters struck out 19 times while Zack Wheeler posted eight strikeouts in six innings.

Despite last year's early playoff exit, expectations are sky-high for the Phillies this season.

The roster should look familiar — the expectations certainly are — but it's a new season with questions for every player going into opening day.

The Inquirer’s baseball insiders make their predictions for the Phillies, the NL East, the playoffs, and World Series, along with individual awards.
