Phillies vs. Royals Game Highlights (8/24/24) | MLB Highlights

Brady Singer makes his 26th start of the season and he enters with a 318 a that is fifth best in the American League. No balls and one strike. That pitch hit to left hit pretty well. Blanco is going back and it's over his head. A one hop off the wall and Schwarber will pull him to second with his 15th double of the year. That's a good sign right out of the gate, 43 on the put out. But the Phillies have what hopefully is the game's first run just 90 ft away and one out Bryce Harper had a couple of hits last night, Harper, a swing and a miss, he was after a slider, he didn't get it. And with a runner at third and one out that is a huge strikeout. The payoff off the end of the bat out to second, caught out of the air by Messi and the inning is over Phillies, zero for three with runners in scoring position here in the first inning. Middle of the first. It's the Phillies nothing. And the Royals coming up facing Ranger Su-rez making his 21st start of the season. He's 0 to 4 in his last seven starts. But the hope is that the back spasms on both sides two different stints. They were the cause of it and that will bring up Vinnie Pascu Rick passed Harper into the right field corner. Paso rumbles around first and he's got an easy two out double 29th on the season. He is at second two down that's on the hands out to short left on the run is Turner in is Hayes and Hayes is there and he makes the catch no runs, one hit and each team has left the man in scoring position. Now, just five hits strike call looking for something else. And singer has his second strikeout 12 to Marsh in there called strike three perfectly placed sinker. Let her high and marshes down looking throws another one and a swing of the best first strikeout three balls, two strikes two for me. And here's the payoff and he gets a called third strike on the inside corner look pretty much like the same pitches before this time. He got the call and for me takes the strike out. Here's the 12 Hayes swings and misses at a slider that was way outside and Brady has struck out for his first time through the order line drive base, hit it to right field. Renfroe is going to cut it off. Schwarber's thinking too, here's the throw by Renfroe. It is off line two doubles on the night for Kyle Schwarber. Trey Turner grounded out his first time up to the right side. There's a base hit it to right field. Rounding third heading for home is Schwarber Renfroe throw to the plate is off line RB I single and the Phillies are on the board. It's a one nothing game. It ends in zero for 19 for Trey Turner and dusty was going to send Schwarber no matter what the situation was. So Garcia grounds out on the first pitch up to Bobby Wood Junior. Well, there he goes. Maybe he's trying to make up for it and he didn't do it. That's what you don't do when you have your big guys coming up , swing and a miss and he is down on strikes and that is a nasty pitch from Suarez. So Sasquatch can go back to his lair, go sit down. He's now two for two with a couple of doubles and singer dancing with a slider. Five K's for Brady singer tapper left side broke his bat charging wit throws on the run not in time and Turner legs it out. Turner is aboard second field hit of the game for the Phils. Here's Harper, that one's lined out to right center field that's gonna split the gap. It's gonna go to the wall. Turner will go to the warning track. Turner's to third. They're gonna him home. He hesitated for a moment, but he's going to be able to score. It's an RB I double for Harper. It's two nothing. Here's the win, the 32 that's in there for called third strike says Mark Carlson and Ranger gets his fourth strikeout. Suarez debuted back in 2018, Massey drills one deep to right center field that balls up against the fence and Michael Messi's got a double just the second hit of the game for the Royals. And maybe that's the one that starts the offense runner in scoring position for freddie Fermin softly hit down in a right of base hit wilson waves Massey around third and Castellanos tosses it to second. The Royals are on the board. It's two to one and they put runners on 1st and 2nd for the number nine hitter is 20 pitches in the inning right now. Oh, and a called strike three super spots there to punch out is Bell and it's Michael Garcia and a called strike three right on the inside part of the plate. That is a supercharged effort by Ranger Su-rez to leave two on base, the 22 pitch to Castellanos and he swings and it's a pop up into shallow right center field. Massey is out. Renfroe is in and it's going to drop. Renfroe was allowing Massey to make the play, but Massey either could hear footsteps or he could see Renfroe in his periphery and he just stopped and the ball dropped in between them for a leadoff single 21, Scott swings. It's a double play ball to second. It takes a bad hop and goes over the glove of Massey into center field. Oh, and another big break for the Phillies that hit right on the lip of the grass and it flew over Massey and they're on the corners with nobody out. So 1st and 3rd, nobody out. And Real Muto, the batter and a high flat ball deep down the left field line toward the ball. It is gone three run home run for JT. The homeless drought is over and the Phillies lead it 5 to 1 and Jt Romeo takes full advantage of those two balls. The missed pop up allowing Castanos to reach in the bad hop allowing ST to get aboard. And that is it for Brady singer Hayes. It's a ground ball left side, a sliding play by Garcia. He gets to his feet and he throws in time to get Hayes on a nice play and they are two down 11 to Massey line base hit right center field that will get Renfroe around second and into third and Massey's digging for second and he will be in there as the ball skips by the shortstop turner but backed up by the third baseman Bone and the Royals begin the bottom of the seventh inning with runners at 2nd and 3rd in the air to right Castellanos almost to the warning track. He's got it, Lenny deep enough for Renfroe to tag and score. Massey goes to third sacrifice fly, Freddie Fermin, he's driven in both Royals runs tonight. What was pop up into right field? Here's a little floater into center that's going to fall for a base hit jam shot single. And that's the way this eighth inning starts down the left field line that's going to slice inside the line. It's a fair ball Castanos to third double for ST and it's now 2nd and 3rd with nobody out and have a night. Bryson ST here is JT from Utah. JT his last time up three run home run, the pitch swung on hit deep again to left Melendez back. He's looking up and it's gone and he's done it again. Jt Rutto with his second three run home run of the night. It's into the fountain in left and what a night for the Phillies catcher, a two homer six RB I game and the Phillies lead it 8 to 2. Will Smith. The new pitcher, Brandon Marsh places one to right field and that will drop for a hit. He's on his way to second. He will get there and Marsh has his third hit of the series. His second double. Here's Austin Hayes line drive base hit it to left center field for Hayes. Marsh will score. Keep it coming and Melendez was slow to get to it. So Hayes tries to go to second and they're gonna say he's out at second but the Phillies will review it. The call is out. So is there enough to overturn it? It looks like there is, it looks like Hayes's foot was on the bag after the call on the field is overturned. The runner is safe. All right. So a double for Hayes and here comes Johan Rojas, he'll come in to pinch run opposite way. Massey has a clip off his glove into right field. Here comes Rojas, he'll score. It is a knock. That's the third hit of the night for Trey Turner will put it in a five spot on the board here in the eighth inning that will hit hard out to center field goal back on it is Isbell , he reaches up, he dives, he can't get it. It's off the wall and Wilson will pull into second base with a double. Well, here's JT Romeo. It's been his show tonight. JT three hits, two of them homers, both of them, three run homers swing and a high bouncer. Middle of the infield. Wits got it turns, throws on the run and he is out at first but in the scores, wilson and it's a seven RB I game for JT Realmuto as his ground out makes it 11 to 2 ties. Carlos Ruiz's record two slice to left Wilson's waiting. He's there makes the catch and the ball game is over a great night for JT Real Muto and the Phillies offense a great night to have Rangers Suarez back as they win it comfortably by a final score of 11 to 2.
