One Sentence Summary: Cristopher Sanchez threw seven shutout innings, but the bullpen allowed the Marlins to come back and win this miserable game.
What It Means: The Dodgers lost as well, so the Phillies' Magic Number to clinch a first round playoff bye is down to one.
What Happened: Sanchez was fantastic, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out six. The Phillies' offense though scored three runs in the first two innings and then seemingly shut it down for the night. Kyle Schwarber hit his 54th home run of the season in the first, giving the Phillies a quick 1-0 lead. In the second, Max Kepler reached on a double and came home on Otto Kemp's two-run home run. David Robertson gave up a pair of Marlins runs in a lengthy eighth inning. With one out in the top of the ninth and Jhoan Duran on the mound, Heriberto Hernandez hit a solo home run, handing the closer his second blown save with the Phillies.

Orion Kerkering gave up two more runs to the Marlins in the top of the 10th, but the Phillies tied the score again in the bottom of the inning thanks to clutch RBI singles from Alec Bohm and Nick Castellanos. In the top of the 11th, the Marlins plated another run with Lou Trivino on the mound, and the Phillies couldn't get anything done in the bottom of the inning.
Featured Card: Marlins' reliever Tyler Phillips pitched a scoreless fifth inning, striking out a trio of Phillies batters - Kemp, Harrison Bader and Schwarber. Phillips is 2-1 with a 2.87 ERA in 52 games and 75 1/3 innings pitched for the Fish this season. Here's his rare 2025 Chachi Almost card, created before his contract was purchased by Miami back on March 26th.

Field Report: Jenna and I enjoyed this game from Section 315 before Robertson's entrance and the hour-plus rain delay in the ninth inning. We had what could have been our last leisurely dinner at Pass & Stow for the season, as once the postseason arrives we'll need to be in our seats early to lock in for the first pitch.
