Nick Sirianni has the juice now, and as the reigning National League champions look to get back to their winning ways, they brought in the Eagles’ head coach for the season opener.
On Friday, the Phillies beat the Cincinnati Reds, 5-2, in their home opener at Citizens Bank Park.
Before the matchup, Sirianni, with his family on hand, threw out the first pitch to a raucous ovation from the hype crowd at Citizens Bank Park.
