Philadelphia Phillies interim manager Rob Thomson tries to extend his unbeaten run when Arizona visits Citizens Bank Park on Friday night. Thomson is 6-0 since taking over after manager Joe Girardi was fired last week. Thomson is off to the best start by a first-time major league manager since Boston’s Joe Morgan won his first 12 games in 1988, the Elias Sports Bureau said. Overall, Philadelphia has won a season-high seven in a row and improved to 28-29.
