Locked On Phillies - Daily Podcast On The Philadelphia Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies fall to the Kansas City Royals 5-2 despite one of Aaron Nola's best starts of the season.  

Nola tossed seven innings of three-run baseball while allowing seven hits, no walks and no homers while striking out seven.  

However, the Phillies' offense had a slow afternoon in Kansas City. Gabriel Rincones Jr and Garrett Stubbs drove in the only Phillies runs.  

The Phillies offense mustarded just five hits in the loss as Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm all went hitless.

The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Kansas City Royals 6-1, to start their nine-game road trip off on the right foot!  

The Phillies offense got going with some power in the 4th inning when Bryson Stott singled to center field and then scored on J.T. Realmuto’s two-run homer to left. Gabriel Rincones followed J.T. with his second homer for the season to make it back-to-back homers.

Alec Bohm hit the Phillies’ third home run of the night when he blasted a 444ft homer to center field in the 6th. Bohm later led the 8th off with a double, then scored from third on a Rincones’ RBI double to right.  

The offense supported a solid start from Jesus Luzardo who tossed six innings of one-run baseball allowing four hits, no walks and one hit batter while striking out nine.

The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 10-6 as Trea Turner continued his tear!  

Trea Turner kept swinging a hot bat bashing a three-run homer as part of a five-run 2nd inning for the Phillies. For Turner, it mark's his third straight game with a homer. Two weeks ago the Phillies' short stop was batting .216 and now has his average up to .239.  

Brandon Marsh smacked another homer as well, his third in three games, while Alec Bohm put a bow on the Phillies' scoring with a two-run homer to center in the bottom of the 8th.  

Bryce Harper also drove in two on a double in the 4th.  

All that Phillies offense helped back a night where Zack Wheeler labored throwing 104 pitches over just 4.2ip. He allowed four runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out 10.

The Philadelphia Phillies bounce back to the tune of an 8-0 VICTORY over the Pittsburgh Pirates.  

Cristopher Sanchez had his own personal bounce back in the win. After allowing 5 runs to the Washington Nationals in his last start, he tossed seven-scoreless innings allowing just three hits and two walks while striking out nine. Sanchez became the first pitcher this season to notch 10 wins!  

As for the offense, Justin Crawford lead the Phillies with a 3-for-3 night with three RBI's. Crawford jumpstarted the Phillies with a two-run single in the 2nd inning.  

Trea Turner also hit a homer for the second straight night. He now has nine on the season.  

Also worth noting the Phillies defense was great in the win. Alec Bohm, Bryson Stott and Bryce Harper all flashed the leather in the win.

The Philadelphia Phillies’ rotation woes spark trade deadline debate after Aaron Nola surrenders a five-run lead to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Is bolstering the starting rotation now a bigger priority than chasing a right-handed bat? Connor Thomas breaks down the Phillies’ pitching vulnerabilities, from Zack Wheeler’s and Cristopher Sanchez’s ace-caliber stability to shaky performances by Nola and depth issues with Alan Rangel and Andrew Painter.

The conversation also spotlights the Phillies’ red-hot offense, which soared to second in MLB for runs per game in June, powered by Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Brandon Marsh, and improved contributions from Alec Bohm and Bryson Stott. Despite the offensive surge, persistent bullpen struggles leave questions about who manager Don Mattingly can trust in high-leverage spots. With the trade deadline approaching and limited prospect capital, will Dave Dombrowski prioritize a reliable arm— or gamble on lineup consistency to carry the Phillies toward a World Series run?

Aaron Nola BLOWS a 5-0 lead as the Philadelphia Phillies fall to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 11-7.

Trea Turner got the Phillies bats going with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the 1st. Turner blasted it to the second deck in left field for his 8th homer of the season. Then Brandon Marsh followed in the inning with a solo homer to left-center, his 13th on the year.  

The Phillies plated three in the 3rd with a sac fly RBI by Kyle Schwarber and then a two-run homer by Bryce Harper. The long ball marked Harper’s 20th homer as the Phillies opened up a 5-0 lead going into the 4th and that’s when the trouble started.  

Aaron Nola allowed a two-run homer by Esmerlyn Valdez in the 4th, then REALLY struggled in the 5th. The righty allowed three runs before being pulled with the bases loaded. Seth Johnson came in and allowed three of Nola’s runners to score.  

Nola’s line closed at 4.1ip allowing seven runs on eight hits allowing two homers, one walk while throwing 86 pitches.  

The Phillies made a bit of a comeback scoring two in the 8th to make it an 8-7 game, but any real hopes of a win were dashed when Endy Rodriguez blasted a three-run homer off Chase Shugart in the top of the 9th to take an 11-7 lead.

The Philadelphia Phillies are making history under Don Mattingly—can this turnaround lead them to October glory?

Connor Thomas spotlights the Phillies’ remarkable surge, boasting a 38-18 record since Mattingly became interim manager, the fastest such turnaround in MLB history. Key performances from Kyle Schwarber—who just became the fastest Phillie ever to 30 home runs—and the stability in the pitching rotation fuel the team’s meteoric rise. The episode examines how Mattingly’s clubhouse shake-up sparked the change, and asks if this newly found momentum can be sustained through the stretch run.

All-Star buzz, MVP pace, and franchise home run records are all in play for Schwarber—but can he finally eclipse Ryan Howard’s legendary mark? Connor Thomas also breaks down the low-risk Tommy Pham signing, exploring its implications for Philadelphia’s battered outfield depth ahead of the trade deadline. Don’t miss this energetic look at the Phillies’ playoff prospects and evolving roster.

The Philadelphia Phillies take 2-out-of-3 in New York and go 5-2 on their Road Trip after their 5-4 win over the Mets!  

Kyle Schwarber's two-run homer in the 7th inning proved to be the difference in the game. It was Schwarber's 30th homer of the season making him the fist to the 30-homer marker this season and the fastest Phillie EVER to get to 30 in a season.  

Jesus Luzardo started for the Phillies and threw five innings of one-run baseball including getting out of a first and second no out situation in the 4th unscathed. Then limiting the damage to one run in the 5th when he faced a first and second no out situation.
