By the way...Jack, Craig, Kevin and all the callers are AI. So yes, they are robots. But informative and, dare I say it, entertaining.

    Marlins Hammer the Phillies 12-4 on Five Homers; Painter Shelled Again, Stowers Goes 4-for-5

    Marlins 12, Phillies 4 at Citizens Bank Park on a getaway-day matinee, and Philadelphia loses the finale after winning the series. Andrew Painter got knocked out in the third, charged with six earned runs on two innings and two home runs, and his season line is now one and eight with a seven oh six E.R.A. Kyle Stowers wrecked the afternoon, four for five with two home runs and five runs batted in. Owen Caissie, Joe Mack, and Jakob Marsee also went deep, five long balls for Miami in all. The Phillies clawed it to six to four early on R.B.I. singles from Brandon Marsh and Alec Bohm and a balk that gave them a run, but Tanner Banks gave up two more homers in the sixth and it broke open. Sandy Alcántara went six for the win. Xavier Edwards went down looking on three straight called strikes again, a second straight Volpe. Backup catcher Garrett Stubbs mopped up the ninth throwing eephus pitches. The Past visits Ranger Suárez in Boston; the Future leans on seventeen-year-old Francisco Renteria and Double-A arm Braydon Tucker. Philadelphia falls to forty and thirty-four, still second in the East and still a game and a half up in the wild card after Atlanta and Washington both lost.

    Phillies Pound the Marlins 8-2 on Three Homers, Luzardo Fans Nine; Schwarber's 25th

    Phillies 8, Marlins 2 at Citizens Bank Park, and Philadelphia takes the series with a game to spare. The Phillies hung three home runs on Marlins starter Tyler Phillips, who got knocked out after four innings and eight earned runs. Brandon Marsh and Alec Bohm went back-to-back in the second, Kyle Schwarber lined his twenty-fifth of the year to right in the fourth on a rare night at first base, and Bryson Stott set the whole thing off with a two-run triple in the first. Jesús Luzardo, the Jesus Lizard, went seven strong with nine strikeouts, giving up only a late two-run shot to Esteury Ruiz. J.T. Realmuto tapped his helmet for an A.B.S. challenge in the sixth and the system agreed with him, ringing up Liam Hicks. Xavier Edwards went down looking on three straight called strikes in the seventh, a clean Volpe. Flyers coach Rick Tocchet swung by the booth in the third. The Past visits Nick Castellanos, and the Future doubles up at Double-A Reading on Gage Wood and an undrafted twenty-six-year-old named Braydon Tucker carrying a one twenty-six E.R.A. Philadelphia climbs to forty and thirty-three, second in the East, a game and a half up in the wild card, seven back of Atlanta.

    Rincones' First Career Hit Is a Homer! Phillies Blank the Marlins 7-0 as Wheeler Fans Nine

    Phillies 7, Marlins 0 at Citizens Bank Park, and Philadelphia comes home off a .500 road trip to throw a shutout at Miami. Zack Wheeler sets the tone with six scoreless, two hits, three walks, and nine strikeouts, and the bullpen of Tim Mayza, Jonathan Bowlan, and Chase Shugart finishes the blanking. The night belongs to a debut: Gabriel Rincones Junior, up from Jersey Shore, takes a hack in the second and his first career hit is a home run to right, and he drives in two. J.T. Realmuto adds a two-run shot to left in the fifth, his fifth of the year. Justin Crawford keeps cooking with three hits and a steal, Edmundo Sosa knocks two, and Bohm and Harper each cash a sac fly. With two balls in the seats on an open-air June night, the show brings in Dr. Jürgen Luftberg to sort the weather ball from the muscle. Trea Turner takes a pitch off the body in the sixth and exits in the eighth as a precaution. Philadelphia climbs to thirty-nine and thirty-three, holds a game and a half in the wild card, and stays seven and a half back of Atlanta. The Mets, for the record, got spanked.

    Shut Out 4-0! Kyle Harrison Silences the Phillies as Milwaukee Takes the Series

    Phillies 0, Brewers 4 at American Family Field, and Philadelphia gets blanked on getaway day to drop the series two games to one. A day after hanging nine, the bats manage four hits and never score. Cristopher Sánchez takes the loss, charged with four runs over five and two-thirds, both off the long ball: a Jackson Chourio leadoff homer in the first and a Blake Perkins three-run shot in the fourth. Kyle Harrison shuts Philadelphia out over six, and Abner Uribe and Aaron Ashby finish it. J.T. Realmuto sits on the day game, so Sánchez throws to Rafael Marchán, who later takes a foul off the helmet and is replaced by Garrett Stubbs. The lone bright spots are gloves: the Phillies nail William Contreras in a rundown and win their only challenge, an overturned tag on David Hamilton at second. Philadelphia falls to thirty-eight and thirty-three, stays eight back of Atlanta, and watches the wild-card cushion shrink to a half game. The road trip ends three and three; the club heads home.

    Phillies Survive 9-8! Realmuto's 4 RBI and a White-Knuckle 8th in Milwaukee

    Phillies 9, Brewers 8 at American Family Field, and Philadelphia answers a one-hit shutout with a seventeen-hit avalanche. A night after Misiorowski one-hit them, the bats wake up: J.T. Realmuto goes three for four with a three-run homer and four runs batted in, Edmundo Sosa and Realmuto both go deep, Bryson Stott doubles twice and drives in two, Brandon Marsh and Sosa each rack up three hits. Aaron Nola wobbles through four and two-thirds, Tim Mayza vultures the win, and Jhoan Duran slams the door for the save. But it's nearly a disaster: up 9-5 in the eighth, Brad Keller turns the inning into a fire drill and the Brewers crawl back to 9-8 before it ends. Jackson Chourio is a one-man wrecking crew for Milwaukee with four hits, two homers, and four RBI. The Phillies climb to thirty-eight and thirty-two, stay eight back of Atlanta in the East, and hold a game and a half in the wild card. Kyle Schwarber takes a backwards K in the first, a textbook Volpe, and a ball clanks off Alec Bohm's head in the eighth.

    Phillies One-Hit in a 6-0 Loss! Misiorowski's 104 MPH Heat and 15 Strikeouts

    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 Phillies' only hit and the only thing standing between them and a perfect game. Tanner Banks opens and takes the loss after a Will Contreras RBI double in the first; Andrew Painter follows with five runs over five innings, the big blow a Jake Bauers three-run homer in the fifth. The Phillies fall to thirty-seven and thirty-two, slip to eight and a half back of Atlanta in the East, but hold a game and a half lead for the wild card as the Braves drop their second straight. Last ten still seven and three.

    Three Homers Off Scherzer! Phillies Win 7-4, Take the Toronto Series on Schwarber's 423-Foot Bomb

    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 hundredth career strikeout. Jesús Luzardo strikes out eight over five and two-thirds, Realmuto guns down a runner in a rundown, and José Alvarado collects his five hundredth career K. Chase Shugart walks in three runs in a shaky seventh to make it 7-4, but Jhoan Duran slams the door for the save, bouncing back from last night's walk-off, his third straight night pitching. Roof open all game. The Phillies are thirty-seven and thirty-one, back up a game and a half for the wild card, and the Braves have lost two straight, so the division gap is down to eight.

    Bullpen Heartbreak in Toronto: Blue Jays Walk Off the Phillies 3-2, Duran Blows the 9th

    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 innings and one run on a Sánchez solo homer, and Dylan Cease carved the Phillies up for eleven strikeouts. Stott had two doubles and the only life in the lineup. The streak snaps at one, the wild-card cushion shrinks to a single game with the Jays now a half-game back, and the umpiring crew got reversed on three of four challenges.
