Philadelphia Phillies top the San Diego Padres, 2-1 thanks to Cristopher Sanchez GEM and JT Realmuto's CLUTCH RBI double!

Sanchez tossed 7.1 innings allowing just one run on six hits and three walks while striking out six. An RBI single by Jose Iglesias in the 6th was the only blemish on Sanchez’ day.

With the score tied at one in the 8th, Bryce Harper smacked a double down the left field line, then JT Realmuto followed in the inning with a two-out RBI double to put the Phillies in front for good.

Jackson Merrill had himself a day hitting TWO homers off Zack Wheeler as the Phillies fall to the Padres, 5-4!

Zack Wheeler allowed four runs on six hits and one walk over his six innings of work striking out six. Wheeler has certainly had better days, but his big Achilles’ heel in this game was Jackson Merrill. The Padres center fielder had not hit a home run since May 27th, but today, he took Wheeler deep TWICE! Both homers came on fast balls.

Merrils’ second home run, tied the game at four in the 6th inning and took the chance away for Wheeler’s 15th quality start of the season.

When Wheeler's night was done, Tanner Banks came in and allowed a pair of one out hits, then he gave way to Jordan Romano who surrendered a sac fly RBI to Manny Machado that was the difference in the game.

Edmundo Sosa replaced an injured Alec Bohm and Sosa came up with a big hit in the 5th inning. With the Phillies trailing 3-2, Sosa smacked a bases loaded two-out single into left field, bringing two runs in for a 4-3 Phillies lead.

Phillies bats can’t get the big hit to back Ranger Suarez as they fall to the Padres 4-2.

The Phillies had a great chance in the 5th inning with the bases loaded and two outs, when Bryce Harper stepped to the play, but the slugger grounded the first pitch to first base to end the threat.

They got another huge chance with the bases loaded and one out in the 8th, but Nick Castellanos swung at ball four, that would have walked in a game tying run, instead, he hit a dribbler back to Jason Adam who flipped home to get Trea Turner before he crossed the plate. Max Kepler followed by popping out to short.

As for Suarez, he through 6.2 innings allowing three runs on six hits. He took the loss, dropping to 7-3.

In today's episode, Connor takes a look at an interesting theory that the 2027 CBA negotiations in baseball could lead to a more aggressive approach for the Philadelphia Phillies at the trade deadline this season. With the potential for a major strike looming, could a lost year prompt the Phils to take advantage of this year's window? Next, a look at some of the latest trade deadline news surrounding the Phillies, including an intriguing outfield move that could open up space for an internal addition to the roster. Finally, a preview of the Phillies' final series of the pre-All-Star break schedule against the San Diego Padres!

In today's episode, Connor reacts to the Philadelphia Phillies blowout win in San Francisco in the series finale with the Giants, and a monster performance by Bryce Harper! With Harper tallying 4 extra base hits in the game, are we ready to say that he is back to his old self, or is one game too small of a sample size to make a call on it? Next, Jesus Luzardo also showed out yesterday, but how much confidence do you have in him after an up and down pre-All-Star break showing for the Phillies? Finally, with the Phils off tonight, a peek in at the standings around baseball and how the Phils match up with their peers.

The Philadelphia Phillies DOMINATED the Giants 13-0 to avoid getting swept out of San Francisco.

This season, there has been the elite version of Jesus Luzardo and the awful version of Jesus Luzardo. Today, he was ELITE! Seven scoreless innings of three-hit baseball, striking out seven and walking only one. He improves to 8-5 on the year.

As the score would indicate, the floodgates opened for the Phillies’ offense. First it was, an RBI single by JT Realmuto in the 2nd inning, Then in the 4th, Bryce Harper added a solo homer, his first since June 3rd and his first in his last nine games. Nick Castellanos recorded an RBI single in the 6th, followed by a Max Kepler sac fly RBI.

Going into the 8th inning, the Phillies enjoyed a 4-0 lead. Then the Phillies EXPLODED for a SEVEN run 8th inning. Kyle Schwarber came up with the big hit, a three-run homer, his 29th of the season.

For Harper who came into today batting, .167 since making his return, a 4-for-6 day with a homer and three doubles was a much needed statline. It also marked, the first time Harper recorded four extra-base hits in a single game.

In today's episode, Connor reacts to the Philadelphia Phillies brutal loss on a walkoff inside the park home run in game 2 of their series against the San Francisco Giants in a game that saw bad bullpen management and bad bullpen performance. Who is more responsible for the issues with the Phillies bullpen? Is it more Manager Rob Thomson, or President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski? Next, a discussion about a trade deadline Sophie's Choice between a high level bullpen arm or an impact right handed bat. Finally, a preview of game 3 of the series in San Fran and a very important start for Jesus Luzardo ahead of the All-Star break.

Philadelphia Phillies lose in AWFUL fashion as they drop game two of their series with the San Francisco Giants, 4-3.

Patrick Bailey belted a COOKIE off a pitch from Jordan Romano off the angled wall in left center field in San Francisco and came all the way around to score the game winning run on his WALK OFF 3-RUN HOMER!

The 9th inning wastes a solid night for so many other Phillies.

Taijuan Walker made his first start since May 30th. He threw four innings allowing one run on a check swing RBI single by Dominic Smith in the 2nd inning.

Otto Kemp had himself a day. First he came up with a great diving play in the 4th to prevent a one-out baserunner. Then in the 6th snapped a Phillies 0-26 stretch with RISP, smacking a game-tying two-out double to left bringing in Alec Bohm.

Kyle Schwarber, who had an ill-advised stolen base attempt in the 4th, came up with a little redemption in the 7th inning. Schwarber golfed an 0-2 change up into McCovey Cove to give the Phillies a 3-1 lead. For Schwarber it was his 28th homer of the season.
