Locked On Phillies - Daily Podcast On The Philadelphia Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies fall to the St. Louis Cardinals 7-1 to drop their 6th series of 8 since the All-Star Break!  

Zack Wheeler’s day was done after he really struggled in the 5th. Wheels allowed five runs on 6 hits and a walk over his five innings, while the Cardinals took him for four runs on five hits in the 5th inning alone.  

The Phillies' lone run came on a Luis Arraez RBI double in the 4th inning as they went on to leave five runners on base and hit 1-for-8 with Runners in scoring position.  

The Phillies now take to the cornfields of Dyersville, Iowa for the Field of Dreams game against the Minnesota Twins Thursday night at 7:30.

The Philadelphia Phillies falter in a critical shutout loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, tightening the National League Wild Card race. Can Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber ignite the offense in time, or will mounting pressure and recent slumps doom Red October aspirations?

Connor Thomas highlights the Phillies’ struggles with inconsistency, Luis Arraez’s rare cold streak, and the growing anxiety among fans. The conversation focused on head-to-head tiebreakers with the Padres and Diamondbacks, bullpen volatility, and the offense’s inability to deliver in key moments. A key theme that emerged was accountability, as attention turns to Dave Dombrowski’s recent comments on the team’s future and his own job security. With high stakes and an unforgiving September schedule looming, the Phillies must find answers fast to keep their playoff hopes alive.

The Philadelphia Phillies fall to the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0 on a night where the bats can't support Cristopher Sanchez' six-scoreless!

Christopher Sanchez’ night was done after six innings allowing four hits and no walks while striking out seven. Don Mattingly elected to end Sanchez’ night after just 89 pitches, despite a night earlier, the Phillies' Interim Skipper being so desperate to save bullpen arms.  

Alex McFarlane pitched the 7th and allowed one run on one hit and a walk. Masyn Winn taking the 25-year-old righty for a two-out RBI single to right.  

The Phillies loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the 8th, but Luis Arraez’ struggles continued as he grounded into a 3-2-3 double play followed by a J.T. Realmuto fly ball out to center.

The Philadelphia Phillies snap a brutal fifth-starter losing streak as Andrew Painter dominates with 5+ no-hit innings, pushing the club to a gutsy 6-5 win over the Cardinals. With the bullpen running on fumes and only three arms available, Jonathan Bowlan steps up for his first career save, cementing his place in the Phillies’ high-leverage hierarchy. Can Philadelphia’s pitching depth survive another playoff push?

Connor Thomas spotlights evolving storylines: Bryce Harper’s knee soreness sparks fresh defensive questions, Alec Bohm’s benching raises concerns about team depth and clubhouse morale, and Kyle Schwarber’s bat heats up while Luis Arraez enters a rare slump.

The Philadelphia Phillies hold off the St. Louis Cardinals for a 6-5 Victory!  

The Phillies opened the scoring in the 2nd inning when Brandon Marsh led off with a single,  then came around to score when Cardinals’ starting pitcher Hunter Dobbins fielded a Derek Hill chopper and AIRMAILED the throw over first base and up the first base line. Hill took third on the throwing error and then scored on an Edmundo Sosa rbi single.  

They went on to plate another in the 5th when a Bryce Harper double play ball allowed Kyle Schwarber to score from third. Then in the 7th, Garrett Stubbs worked a five-pitch walker and score from first on an RBI double by Schwarber who laced one into the right-center field gap for a 4-2 lead.  

Andrew Painter took a no-hit bid into the 6th inning, where Herrera broke up the fun with a double into the left field corner, then Alec Burleson followed with a two-run single to center that cut the Phillies' lead to 3-2. Painter was pulled after Burleson hit for Alan Rangel who was able to get two strike outs to get out of the inning.

Painter’s line closed at 5.1ip two runs on two hits, two walks and six strikeouts .  

The Phillies added to their lead with an RBI double from Kyle Schwarber in the 7th and a two run double from Edmundo Sosa in the 8th.  

Rangel pitched through the 8th where he got into trouble, allowing three runs to make it a 6-5 lead. Sosa's double in the top of the inning, proved to be the difference in the game.

The Philadelphia Phillies unravel as bullpen woes and Alec Bohm’s struggles push fans to the brink. After a chaotic series with the Toronto Blue Jays marked by defensive blunders, missed clutch moments, and costly mental errors, questions swirl about whether this team can maintain their Wild Card spot with September’s brutal schedule looming.

Connor Thomas critiques the bullpen’s collapse, Don Mattingly’s controversial decisions, and Alec Bohm’s mounting failures at first base, while spotlighting bright spots like Kyle Schwarber’s explosive power surge. With injuries piling up and team chemistry fading, Connor Thomas weighs the Phillies’ playoff odds and outlines what needs to change—starting with a shake-up at first base. Can the Phillies stabilize before their September gauntlet, or is time running out for this World Series hopeful?

The Philadelphia Phillies top the Toronto Blue Jays, 7-6 in 12 innings as they overcome Orion Kerkering's struggles!

Kyle Schwarber broke a 17-game homerless streak with a two-homer afternoon. His first came in the 3rd inning with a 378ft homer to left field while the second came in the 5th inning on a 448ft BLAST to the second deck in right. Despite not hitting a homer since July 17th, Schwarber is tied with the Astros’ Yordan Alvarez at 35 for the MLB lead.

Jesus Luzardo was absolutely NASTY over seven innings of two-run baseball while striking out 12! The lefty allowed just four hits and a walk in the game and improved to 11-5 on the season.  

Orion Kerkering was the latest to add to the Phillies’ bullpen struggles. Kerkering inherited a 5-2 lead in the 7th inning but allowed three runs to score, two of them coming on a bloop single to center by Andres Gimenez with two outs in the inning.  

The game would go to extra’ where in the 12th where the Blue Jays scored in the top of the inning on a 4-6-3 double play that allowed Nathan Lukes to score from third. Then in the bottom of the inning, Bryson Stott tied the game with an RBI single and Derek Hill walked it off with an RBI single.  

The Phillies did have a chance in the bottom of the 11th when Luis Arraez came to the plate with the bases loaded and one out. He hit lined out to right field,

The Philadelphia Phillies BLOW 4-2 lead LATE and fall to the Toronto Blue Jays 7-5 in 11 Innings!

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. opened up the scoring in the 1st inning taking Aaron Nola deep on a solo homer

For five LONG innings the Phillies were unable to crack the code of Max Scherzer. Seemed every ball they put in play found the glove of a Blue Jay.  

Then finally in the 6th, Trea Turner and Bryce Harper smacked back-to-back solo homers, followed by a sac fly RBI by Brandon Marsh and an RBI triple by Justin Crawford. Phillies went into the bottom of the 6th down 2-0 and closed it with a 4-2 lead.  

It was another good start for Aaron Nola who allowed just two runs on six hits and two walks striking out eight. Nola started the 5th at 95 pitches but when Jesus Sanchez hit a comebacker off his ankle for an infield single, Nola was forced to leave with what was later called a left knee contusion.  

Brooks Raley came in and finished off the 6th and pitched into the 7th.  

The Phillies went to Jose Alvarado for the 8th. He recorded a strike out, then walked two. After a mound conference he got the second out of the inning then face Jesus Gimenez. He got the lefty in an 0-2 count then threw a COOKIE that Gimenez grooved into right center field for a game-tying two-run double. Orion Kerkering then came out of the bullpen and recorded the final out of the 8th.  

Chase Shugart pitched the 10th, allowing one run, but it was after a COSTLY misplay by Alec Bohm at first base. Bohm had the second out of the inning roll his way at first, with Shugart covering, but Bohm appeared panicked fielding it. His decision led to a bases loaded situation with one out. The next batter put came up with a line drive to right that would have been the end of the inning, but instead became the go-ahead RBI sac fly.

The Philadelphia Phillies leave 11 on base as they lose to the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-4!  

The Phillies certainly had their chances but went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position. The most glaring situation was in the 5th when they trailed 3-2. They had runners on second and third with no outs, and that's when Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner and Bryce Harper all went down swinging 1-2-3.  

Zack Wheeler really battled through 5.1ip throwing 116 pitches. The last batter he faced, Nathan Lukes worked a 15-pitch at bat in the 6th and capped it off with a single to right to load the bases with one out.

The Phillies tried to rally in the bottom of the 9th but came up just short.
