One Sentence Summary: Cristopher Sanchez won his league-leading 16th game and a controversial replay review aided the Phillies in this 6-5 win over the Marlins.
What It Means: The Phillies kicked off their homestead with their fourth win in a row. In the seventh, the Marlins' Javier Sanoja doubled down the first base line with the ball initially called foul. Upon replay review, it was ruled fair, but what would have been the tying run was placed back at third base. Marlins' manager Clayton McCullough earned a justifiable ejection due to the umpire's mishap.

We arrived home on Monday after our odyssey to Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, and I proudly plopped in front of the TV for the duration of this game.
What Happened: Sanchez allowed a run on six hits while striking out six over six innings of work. The Phillies' bullpen allowed the Marlins to creep back into the game, as Sanchez had departed with a 4-1 lead. Jhoan Duran escaped trouble in the ninth to record his 27th save. The Phillies received RBI singles from Trea Turner and Luis Arraez in the third, and an RBI pinch-hit single from Derek Hill in the sixth. Hill also walked with the bases loaded in the seventh. Alec Bohm provided the needed insurance run in the eighth with an RBI single to drive home Bryce Harper. Harper was 3 for 4 in the game.
Featured Card: I'll feature another Harper card here, as there is no shortage of his cards in my collection. Here's his 1955-inspired card from the recently released Topps Chrome Platinum set, with Mike Schmidt making an appearance on the back of the card. Even though it's recently released, Topps still considers this a 2025 set for some reason.
