Game 107 - Luzardo Battles, Schwarber Homers in Win Over Chisox

Philadelphia Phillies  6 
Chicago White Sox  3 

2025 Philadelphia Phillies
Kids Club/Club 215
Tuesday Night, July 29th
Rate Field - Chicago, IL
61-46, 2nd Place, 1/2 game behind the Mets

One Sentence Summary:  Jesus Luzardo didn't have his best stuff, but he still pitched seven scoreless innings in this 6-3 win over the White Sox.

What It Means:  The Phillies will attempt a series win over the surging Sox with Taijuan Walker on the mound Wednesday afternoon.

What Happened:  Luzardo allowed two hits and struck out four in his 90-pitch outing.  This game was never really close until Phillies reliever Daniel Robert gave up three ninth inning runs.  The Phillies scored their first two runs in the second inning on sacrifice flies from Max Kepler and Otto Kemp.  In the third, Kyle Schwarber hit a two-run home run, his 37th of the season, and Brandon Marsh followed a few batters later with a two-run home run of his own.

Featured Card:  Why not another Schwarber card?  The slugger is a free agent at the end of the season, and I'm hoping Phillies' ownership backs up the money truck to re-sign him.
