Dwight Smith, Jr. found himself on base all day long for Buffalo on Wednesday, going 3-3 with 2 walks, scoring 2 runs, driving in one, and adding a stolen base for good measure.
The Phillies got Enyel De Los Santos from the Padres for Freddy Galvis, and De Los Santos has been incredible for Lehigh Valley this season and could quickly find his way to the Phillies rotation. He threw 7 scoreless innings Wednesday, allowing one hit and 2 walks, striking out 6.
