Taijuan Walker lasted just four innings and was charged with four runs on seven hits and a walk as the Philadelphia Phillies fell to the Milwaukee Brewers 6-2.  

Despite Walker’s struggles, the offense didn’t do much to back him up. Kyle Schwarber came up with two of the Phillies’ four hits recording two doubles on the night. He drove in a run with one of them. Nick Castellanos also came up with a solo homer, his fifth homer of the season. The other hit came on a leadoff single by Trea Turner in the 4th.  

The loss mark’s the Phillies first back-to-back losses in over a month.  

Phillies will try to get back on track Saturday afternoon at 4:05, weather permitting.

Wheeler was charged for six runs on four hits and four walks. He also gave up a two-run homer to Ozzie Albies as part of a four-run 4th inning. Wheeler needed 107 pitches to get through just 5.1 innings.    

Carlos Hernandez relieved Wheeler in the 6th and gave up an infield single to Michael Harris II before allowing a two-run single by Luke Williams to push the Braves lead to 6-0 in the 6th.  

Wheeler’s counterpart, Chris Sale was dominant over six scoreless innings. He allowed just two hits, three walks and one hit batsman while striking out six throwing 102 pitches.

Rafael Marchan leads the Philadelphia Phillies past the Atlanta Braves with 5-4 win!  

The Phillies back-up catcher has struggled this season, since taking over the role from Garrett Stubbs after spring training. Entering the game, Marchan had amassed just 3 hits on the season and not one of them was a home run. In this win, the 26-year-old out of Venezuela went 1-for-2 with a walk, hit by pitch and three RBI’s. Within that line was his first home run of the season, a two-run shot in the 3rd inning. He also threw out two base-runners trying to take second base on him, including Ozzie Albies, who walked on four pitches to leadoff the 9th.  

After Matt Strahm surrendered two runs in the top of the 8th inning, Marchan helped the Phillies grab the lead back. Braves’ reliever Daysbel Hernandez pitched the borrow of the 8th and loaded the bases. He then hit Marchan in the foot to force home what would be the game winning run.  

The Phillies are now just one win away from sweeping the Braves! Zack Wheeler takes on Chris Sale in the night cap of this twin bill.

In today's episode, with the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves rained out yesterday, Connor takes a way too early look at the Phillies' potential playoff rotation with a handful of high level starters!

Next, a look in at the standings as we near the end of the month of May, and why the Phillies are nowhere near feeling comfortable yet. Finally, a preview of today's day-night double header with a heavyweight pitching matchup scheduled for the 2nd game!

In today's episode, Connor reacts to the Philadelphia Phillies win over the Atlanta Braves in game 1 of their series in South Philly, a game in which Bryce Harper was hit in the elbow in the bottom of the 1st and exited the game. Though x-rays were negative on Harper's elbow, should the Phillies have gone after one of the Braves' stars to try and get retribution for Harper being hit? Next, a look at Ranger Suarez's recent dominance, and why he probably won't get the credit he deserves for his strong stretch of pitching. Finally, with rain in the forecast tonight in Philly, a look at the potential for a double header on Thursday to round out the series with the Braves.

Ranger Suares came up with another scoreless outing as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves, 2-0 Tuesday night.  

Suarez threw six-scoreless innings allowing four hits and three walks, while striking out eight. Since his rough season debut where he allowed seven runs, Suarez has put in three scoreless performances in his last four starts. He’s also pitched at least six innings in all of them.  

The little offense the Phillies could muster against Spencer Strider and the Braves pitching staff came in the form of a Max Kepler RBI double in the 2nd inning. Later in the 2nd, with one out,  J.T. Realmuto lined out to right field and Kepler was late tagging from 2nd to 3rd, he would be safe on the throw, but didn’t realize the throw bounced into left field. Kepler could have scored on the play.  

In the 8th, Alec Bohm hit a ground ball with eyes up the middle and that started something for the Phillies. Nick Castellanos followed with a base hit to center field, then Braves reliever Daysbel Hernandez walked Kepler to load the bases and then walked in a run when Realmuto was able to lay off a low slider for the Phillies’ second run.  

Bryce Harper was forced out of the game in the 1st inning when he took an 95mph 0-1 fastball off his elbow. Harper’s x-rays came back negative.  

Phillies and Braves play game two of this three game series Wednesday night at 6:45, Zack Wheeler takes on AJ Smith-Shawver.

Next, a standings check in at one of the first major milestones of the baseball season, and a look at some of the teams hot on the Phillies heels in both the National League, and the NL East.

The Philadelphia Phillies’ winning streak was halted at nine-straight after taking a 5-4 loss to the A’s Sunday afternoon.  

Trea Turner’s solo homer in the top of the 8th gave the Phillies a 4-3 lead, putting the Phillies in line for a 10th consecutive victory. But the A’s had other ideas.

In the bottom of the 8th, after seven strong innings from Jesus Luzardo, the Phils gave the ball to Matt Strham. He went on to allow two runs on 2 hits and a walk, giving the A’s a 5-4 lead. Mason Miller cam on to pitch the top of the 9th, and unlike his two previous appearances in this season, closed the door on the Phillies.  

Luzardo gave up three runs in the first inning, then went on to toss six scoreless innings after that with a total of 10 strikeouts while throwing 105 pitches. .  

The bats failed to have a big inning, but did drive in a run in four separate innings. The Phillies’ best chance for a breakout inning came in the 2nd when they took three straight walks to load the bases with no outs. A’s starter Gunnar Hoglund then got J.T. Realmuto ground into a 6-4 double play before Alec Bohm flied out to center to end the threat.  

Trea Turner led the Phillies’ offensive efforts with three RBIs including his 4th homer of the season. Realmuto and Bryce Harper both went 0-for-4 in the loss.

The Philadelphia Phillies win a WILD 11 inning affair as they beat the A’s 9-6 to notch their 9th straight win!

THe Phillies trailed 6-5 with one out in the top of the 9th inning when Max Kepler saw a first-pitch fastball from Mason Miller and jumped all over it. Kepler drilled a solo homer to right to even the score and give the shot a chance at extras.  

After a 1-2-3 bottom of the 9th by Tanner Banks, the Phillies failed to score first in the top of the 10th.  

In the bottom of the 10th. Orion Kerkering faced a bases loaded no out situation. Somehow, he got out of it. First he forced Brent Rooker to fly out to shallow center field where Brandon Marsh made one of the best plays, if not THE best play of his career. Marsh caught Rooker’s fly ball then fired home to nail the would-be game winning run. It ended up as a 8-2 double play. Kerkering then got Langeliers to fly out to left to end the threat.  

In the top of the 11th it was the Kyle Schwarber show. The “Schwarbarian” who already hit his 18th homer of the season earlier in the night, lined a two-run double to the wall in right to give the Phillies the lead. Schwarber later scored by tagging up on a Nick Castellanos fly ball to right.  

Cristopher Sanchez struggled in his outing, only lasting 4.2 innings. He threw 83 pitches with just 49 of them getting over as strikes. Sanchez allowed three runs on seven hits while matching his season high of allowing three walks.  

Max Lazar pitched the bottom of the 11th to record the save.
