David Dahl, who was called up from Triple-A just hours before Monday’s matchup against the Brewers, kept the Phillies’ philosophy alive.
The Phillies lost starter Taijuan Walker to a sore shoulder in spring training. Spencer Turnbull took the ball and went 2-0, 1.67 in six starts.
David Dahl, a 30-year-old who had played a total of four games in the big leagues since 2021, was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He started in left. And he went 2-for-3 including a home run and scored twice to help the Phillies beat the first-place Brewers, 3-1, at Citizens Bank Park.That’s just the way things have gone for the Phillies so far this season. It’s the sort of serendipity that can suffuse teams with a faint team-of-destiny aura.
“And a credit to our player development system for keeping those guys sharp and getting them going. It was great to see.”Signed as a minor league free agent with an invite to big league camp after spring training opened, Dahl was batting .340 for the IronPigs. He had 12 homers and a 1.076 OPS.“I’m just super excited and grateful to be here and trying to take advantage of the opportunity,” Dahl said. “I was just trying to put good at bats together. Hit the ball hard.
Lehigh Valley was off Monday. Dahl was hanging around his hotel, watching Netflix, when Sam Fuld called around 12:45 p.m. to give him the news. About 20 minutes away he found out he was in the lineup.
