    Three years ago Sunday, the Phillies won their series finale over the Giants, and it did little — if anything — to improve morale. They moved to 22-29, six games out of a Wild Card spot and 12.5 out of the NL East lead. It was the last game in Joe Girardi’s tenure as manager.  The Phillies lost their fourth straight game on Sunday to cap off a sweep by the Brewers. It moved them to 36-23. The point of the non-parallel: Things could be worse.

    The Phillies traded for left-handed reliever Josh Walker from the Blue Jays, the club announced on Thursday. Cash considerations head back to Toronto. Walker had been designated for assignment on Sunday after allowing four runs on eight hits in five innings at the MLB level this year. He had a 6.30 ERA in almost a dozen Triple-A appearances. He does have some solid strikeout numbers: Eight in five innings with the Blue Jays, 16 in 10 with the Buffalo Bisons.

    The first edition of this trust ranking included the declaration that the Phillies’ bullpen went “Alvarado, then everyone else.” Well. Everyone else, it is. It’s too early to tell whether they’ll be able to weather the storm without their best-performing reliever. So far, they’ve managed — their bullpen ERA is eight-tenths of a run lower without Alvarado than it was with him — but it’s happened against the Pirates, Rockies, A’s and Braves. A few have taken some notable steps forward, though.

    When you think about all the value Kyle Schwarber brings to the Phillies, you think of the obvious: power, especially against lefties. Plate discipline and on-base ability. Clubhouse leadership and whatnot. Those are all true. He did all of them on Saturday. But you don’t think of his baserunning. And that was pivotal against the A’s in one of the wilder games the Phillies will play this season.

    Sacramento is important today because of Jan. 24, 1848, when the discovery of gold near Sacramento — future host of Sutter Health Park and the definitely-not-Sacramento Athletics — sparked a westward migration that ultimately led to California’s statehood. The motto of the era was “Eureka!,” which translates to “I found it!”“Eureka!” might’ve been what Johan Rojas thought at the end of the eighth inning on Friday.

Quite the encouraging outing by Ranger Suárez. Night and day compared to last start. Not even a velo thing — was actually lower tonight.
