Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA

94-65, 1st Place, 12 games ahead of the Mets
One Sentence Summary: A first inning run was enough for Walker Buehler, Taijuan Walker, Matt Strahm and David Robertson in this 1-0 combined shutout win over the Marlins.
What It Means: The Twins come to town for a final, regular season weekend series. Barring a three-game sweep of the Twins, combined with a three-game sweep of the Brewers by the Reds, it would seem as if the Phillies are securely the second seed in the playoff bracket. Said another way, the Brewers magic number to clinch the first seed is just one.
What Happened: In the bottom of the first, Harrison Bader singled, went to third on a single by Bryce Harper, and scored on an Alec Bohm sacrifice fly. That was it for the scoring for the rest of the game. Buehler improved to 3-0 with the Phillies, throwing five shutout innings, and allowing three hits and three walks. Walker was next, pitching a pair of scoreless innings. Strahm and Robertson finished it out, with Robertson earning his second save with the club.
Featured Card: Buehler has the possibility of receiving a Phillies baseball card in either the 2025 Topps Update set or even 2026 Topps Series One. Here's his card from the fantastic 2024 Topps set.

Field Report: Jenna took a trio of happy Villanova roommates to the game, and they braved the first, three-minute rain delay, but not the second, hour-plus rain delay.
