Captain Jack's Phillies Postgame

Phillies 0, Brewers 6 at American Family Field, and Philadelphia runs into the buzzsaw to open the Milwaukee series. Rookie Jacob Misiorowski throws a complete-game one-hit shutout, strikes out a career-high fifteen, walks nobody, faces the minimum, and hits 104.5 miles an hour, the fastest pitch of 2026 and the fastest ever thrown by a starter. Kyle Schwarber's fourth-inning single is the Phillie...

Phillies 7, Blue Jays 4 at Rogers Centre, and Philadelphia takes the series two games to one in Toronto. They jump Max Scherzer for three home runs — Bryce Harper's solo shot in the first, Alec Bohm's three-run blast in the third, and a 423-foot Kyle Schwarber bomb off the reliever in the fourth — and chase the future Hall of Famer in the fourth on the same day he records his three thousand five h...

Phillies 2, Blue Jays 3, walked off in the bottom of the ninth at Rogers Centre. Philadelphia carries a 2-1 lead to the last three outs on Bryson Stott's go-ahead double, then Jhoan Duran comes in for the save and records zero outs: a Jesús Sánchez single, a Piñango single, a wild pitch that ties it, and a Brandon Valenzuela walk-off single. Zack Wheeler was excellent and got nothing for it, six i...

Phillies 5, Blue Jays 2 up at Rogers Centre to open the road trip. Cristopher Sánchez does exactly what the show promised the night before, seven innings, ten strikeouts, two earned, the eleventh ten-punchout game of his career. Adolis García gets it started with a two-run homer in the second, then the Phillies hang three in the third on a Bohm single, a Realmuto single, and a bases-loaded Bryson...

Phillies 9, White Sox 5, and the Phillies take the series two games to one. Aaron Nola gets roughed up again, five earned over four and a third, but the bullpen throws four and two-thirds of shutout ball behind him, José Alvarado picks up the win, and Jonathan Bowlan ends it on a double play. Brandon Marsh keeps mashing, his eighth homer plus a wall-climbing catch, Rafael Marchán adds a two-run sh...

White Sox 6, Phillies 3. The Phillies go for a fifth straight and don't get it. Andrew Painter gets buried early, four runs in the first and six before he's out in the fifth, the killers a Colson Montgomery solo shot and Jacob Gonzalez's first career home run. Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh answer with solo homers and Adolis García drives one in, but Sean Burke and the Sox pen hold the line and Grant...

Phillies 8, White Sox 6. A slugfest, and the Phillies out-slugged them. Jesús Luzardo gets roughed up for three home runs, two from Randal Grichuk and one from Derek Hill, but Kyle Schwarber goes four for five at the top, Brandon Marsh and Adolis García go deep, and Alec Bohm rips a two-run double. Tied at six in the seventh on a Colson Montgomery single, Edmundo Sosa lifts a go-ahead sacrifice fl...

Phillies 6, Padres 4. The broom comes out. Zack Wheeler carves the Padres up, eight strikeouts and two hits over seven, the only dent a Manny Machado two-run homer in the seventh. Adolis García's fifth-inning solo shot and a Justin Crawford run on a throwing error build a three-nothing lead, and when Machado pulls San Diego within one, the Phillies answer with three in the bottom of the seventh of...

Phillies 3, Padres 2. Cristopher Sánchez carves up San Diego, eight strikeouts over seven innings, and his left-handed scoreless-innings record ends at fifty and two-thirds on a Jackson Merrill single in the seventh. Adolis García's fifth-inning double opens the scoring, then Realmuto and Schwarber go back to back in the seventh off Jason Adam, Schwarber's M.L.B.-leading twenty-third. Trea Turner...

Phillies 3, Padres 2. Home cookin' fixes a lot. Aaron Nola goes five with eight punchouts, the only damage a Gavin Sheets two-run homer in the third. Bryce Harper answers with a four-hundred-and-nineteen-foot two-run shot in the fourth to tie it, and the go-ahead run scores in the sixth on, of all things, an Alec Bohm double play. Brandon Marsh goes four for four. Jhoan Duran slams the door in the...

Dodgers 9, Phillies 1. Rubber game in LA. Andrew Painter can't get out of the fourth, giving up two home runs, Ryan Ward and Alex Freeland, and four runs. Yoshinobu Yamamoto carves the Phillies up, 5⅓ shutout innings, ten punchouts. Bryson Stott's ninth-inning solo homer is the only run. The Dodgers take the series two games to one, and the Phillies slip to third in the East at 30 and 29.

Phillies 4, Dodgers 3. Game two in LA. Down 3 to 1 in the eighth against Tanner Scott, Bryce Harper singles home a run and Edmundo Sosa, pinch-hitting, launches a two-run homer to take the lead. Jesús Luzardo grinds 5⅓, Orion Kerkering takes the win, Jhoan Duran closes it touching 101. Alec Bohm homers off Roki Sasaki early. Phillies even the series and climb to 30 and 28.

Dodgers 4, Phillies 2. Series opener in LA. Zack Wheeler gives up four solo home runs in six innings, Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy, Will Smith, and Shohei Ohtani all going deep. Justin Wrobleski shuts the Phillies down, seven innings, one run, nine punchouts. Kyle Schwarber's solo shot and a Steward Berroa run-scoring single in the eighth are the only Phillies offense. Sweep at Petco on Wednesday, f...

Phillies 3, Padres 0. Sweep clinched. Cristopher Sánchez throws seven shutout innings, nine punchouts, no walks, on a hundred pitches — and breaks Grover Cleveland Alexander's 1911 franchise record for consecutive scoreless innings, pushing the streak to 44⅔. Walker Buehler has to come out injured in the sixth. Trea Turner caps it with a solo shot in the ninth. Three in a row over San Diego. Phill...

Phillies 4, Padres 3. Three solo shots — Bryce in the first, Realmuto in the second, Trea in the third. Nola goes six on eighty pitches. Brad Keller hangs a sweeper to Laureano in the eighth, Duran closes it. Two in a row, sweep tomorrow.
