Bader’s 3-run home run put the Phillies ahead for good. It was eclipsed by Kyle Schwarber’s grand slam four batters later, and the final ledger in the 13-3 win showed Edmundo Sosa and Weston Wilson piling on long balls in the eighth. But when the dam broke, Bader had his hands on the sledgehammer.

There are legitimate questions about how the Phillies will construct their outfield in the immediate and further down the road.

The Phillies have acquired right-handed bat Harrison Bader from the Minnesota Twins before Thursday's trade deadline.
