Philadelphia Phillies vs Kansas City Royals | August 24, 2024 | MLB Full Game Replay

WHERE THE TEMPERATURE IS RISING. IN FACT, TOMORROW, THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MID- 90s FOR DAY BASEBALL AS THE PHILLIES WRAP UP THE ROAD TRIP. TODAY, THOUGH, SUNNY SKIES, 86 DEGREES AND THE PHILS ARE HOPING TO TURN THINGS AROUND AFTER A ROUGH ROAD TRIP. AND HERE IS THE LINEUP BROUGHT TO YOU BY XFINITY, STREAM XFINITY BECAUSE IT'S ONLY LIVE ONE TIME AND THEY HAVE THE PROPENSITY TO WALK A LOT, A LOT OF HITTERS WITH WALKS BUT THE PHILLIES, JUST FIVE WALKS, AND IT'S NOT KYLE SCHWARBER, EITHER AND LET'S SEE IF THEY CAN CHANGE THINGS UP TONIGHT AGAINST RIGHT HANDER BRADY SINGER, AN E.R.A. OF 3.18. >> A LONG AND LANKY GUY AND BOUNCED BACK NICELY AFTER LAST YEAR AND HE REALLY STRUGGLED. BUT ONE OF THE BETTER PITCHERS IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE CENTRAL AND COMING OFF A PRETTY GOOD START THE LAST START BUT THE TWO PRIOR WERE NOT THAT GREAT. >> TODAY'S FIRST FITCH BROUGHT TO YOU BY AUDI. VISIT YOUR AUDI DEALER TO VISIT THE ENTIRE LINEUP OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES. WE ARE UNDERWAY, AND THAT PITCH IS GOING BACK, AND THAT IS OVER BLANCO'S HEAD AND SCHWARBER WILL PULL INTO SECOND WITH HIS 15th DOUBLE OF THE YEAR AND THAT'S A GOOD SIGN RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE. >> A HECK OF A START AND WE SAW THIS HAPPENING LAST NIGHT AND HERE IS THED SLIDER THAT STAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLATE AND WELL OVER BLANCO, A NIECE PIECE OF HITTING BY SCHWARBS. >> HERE IS TREA TURNER, HITTING .298 AND 14 HOME RUNS, 44 RUNS BATTED IN. AND THAT IS LOW, 1-1. >> STEADY DIET OF SLIDERS AND SINKERS FROM SINGER AND HE HAS DEVELOPED A FOUR SEAMER THAT MADE IT MORE EFFECTIVE WITH SOME OF THE HITTERS OFF THE SINKER THAT HE THROWS QUITE OFTEN. >> SWING AND A MISS. 1-2. >> WHAT I HAVE SEEN FROM TREA IS I HAVE SEEN HIM MAKING UP HIS MIND BEFORE HE SEES THE PITCH. >> PHILLIES, 3 FOR 12 LAST NIGHT WITH RUNNERS IN SCORING POSITION. OUTSIDE, 2-2. A BIT HIGH, 3-2 AND THAT WAS AT THE TOP OF THE ZONE. THE HOME PLATE UMPIRE GIVES IT TO TREA TURNER. >> LOVE TO GET TO THE STARTER EARLY AND ET INTO THE BULLPEN EARLY AND THEY HAD TO DO SOME WORK YESTERDAY. >> TO THE RIGHT SIDE. THAT WILL GET SCHWARBER OVER TO THIRD, 4-3 ON THE PUTOUT BUT THE PHILLIES HAVE WHAT HOPEFULLY IS THE GAME'S FIRST RUN, JUST 90 FEET AWAY AND ONE OUT. >> ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS AB BY TREA TURNER. HE STAYS ON THIS BALL LONG ENOUGH TO DRIVE IT TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FIELD AND MOVE THAT RUNNER, NOT AN EASY THING TO DO WITH TWO STRIKES AND A GUY LIKE SINGER WHO THROWS A LOT OF SINKERS IN ON THE RIGHT- HANDER'S HAND. >> BRYCE HARPER HAD A COUPLE OF HITS LAST NIGHT. THE INFIELD IS IN AND A PITCH OUTSIDE, 1 GOT HIM. TWO OUTS. >> HARP HAD A COUPLE OF INCHES EARLIER IN THIS AT BAT TO DO THE JOB AND FOULED THEM BACK AND GOT HIMSELF A NASTY SLIDER THAT HE SWINGS OVER AND IT'S UP TO ALEC BOHM TO PICK HIM UP. >> ALEC BOHM 85 RUNS BATTED IN. >> GREAT BLOCK BY SALVADOR PEREZ. THIS BALL WAS DESTINED FOR THE BACKSTOP AND HE SOMEHOW BACKHANDED THIS GOOD HANDS. >> INSIDE, 2-0. SINGER HAS THE FIFTH LOWEST BATTING AVERAGE AGAINST RIGHT HANDERS AND THAT PITCH RIGHT THERE IN SOME WAYS AND THE SINKER THAT COMES IN A LOT. >> NO QUESTION. AND WHEN HE IS ON. HE IS ON AND HE IS LEADING ALL OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL IN 15 GAMES STARTED AND GIVEN UP 0 OR ONE EARNED RUN. >> A HECK OF A TURN AROUND TO A YEAR WHERE HE HAD A 5.5 E.R.A. LAST YEAR. OUTSIDE, 3-1. OH, BOY. >> GOT A PITCH TO HIT THERE. THE 3-1 COUNT. SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENED WITH HARPER. HE GOT A FASTBALL TO HIT AND THIS IS RIGHT DOWN BROADWAY AND JUST CLIPPED IT FOUL. >> PEREZ SETS UP OUTSIDE, THE 3- 2 COMING TO BOHM. FLY BALL DOWN THE RIGHT FIELD LINE AND RENFROE GIVES IT A LOOK BUT IT'S BACK IN THE SEATS. >> TWO OUTS AND RUNNERS IN SCORING POSITION, AND THE NUMBERS ARE STILL VERY GOOD AND IT GOES ALONG WITH THE BATTING AVERAGE OVERALL WITH RUNNERS >>> HERE'S THE ROYALS' LINEUP BROUGHT TO YOU BY XFINITY. STREAM SPORTS WITH XFINITY BECAUSE IT'S ONLY LIVE ONE TIME AND MIKHAIL GARCIA WILL LEAD THINGS OFF. AND FREDDY FERMIN HAD A DOUBLE LAST NIGHT OFF THE BENCH FACING RANGER SUAREZ MAKING HIS 21st START OF THE SEASON, 0-4 IN THE LAST SEVEN STARTS WITH AN E.R.A. OF 4.99 AND HOPING THAT THE BACK SPASMS WERE THE CAUSE AND THAT'S A GOOD PITCH OUT OF THE GATE. >> TALKING ABOUT THE FASTBALL COMMAND DOWN AND IN ON THE RIGHT HANDED HITTERS. >> TAPPER OVER TO THIRD. BOHM WAS PLAYING IN AND BLANCO -- EXCUSE ME, GARCIA RUNS WELL BUT IS RETIRED EASILY. SO A LOOK AT THE ARSENAL AND THE SINKER AND THE SEAMER OF THE UTMOST P. >> SURE ARE AND THE CURVE BALL AND CHANGEUP. >> 11 SINKERS BEFORE THE LAST OUTING ON THE IL AND SEVEN 4- SEAM FASTBALLS THAT WERE NOT WHERE THEY NEEDED IT TO BE. IN THE LAST OUTING, THE TWINS HIT .417 AGAINST HIM AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE GRAPHIC, EVERYTHING IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLATE. CASTELLANOS IS OUT THERE IN THE SUNSHINE AND MAKES THE CATCH, TWO OUTS. >> YOU JUST DON'T KNOW AFTER, LITERALLY NOT BEING ON A MAJOR LEAGUE MOUND FOR A MONTH WHETHER HE IS GOING TO BE SHARP OR NOT AND YOU ONLY HAVE REALLY, TWO STINT WHERE IS HE THREW AGAINST LIVE HITTERS. SO YOU DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD HIS COMMAND WILL BE SO FAR, SO GOOD. >> PASQUANTINO IS THE BATTER, 1- 0 AND THAT WAS A DECENT PITCH. 2 FOR 5 LAST NIGHT WITH A COUPLE OF RUNS AND AN RBI. HIT SHARPLY AND THAT'S DOWN THE RIGHT FIELD LINE. HE DOESN'T RUN WELL AND MADE FUN OF HIMSELF LAST NIGHT ABOUT HIS RUNNING BUT HE WILL GET TO SECOND BASE, HIS 29th DOUBLE OF THE YEAR. >> YOU TALK ABOUT SWINGING THE BAT AND BEING HOT AND I MEAN HE HAS BEEN UNBELIEVABLE IN THE LAST THIRD GAMES. HE TURNS ON THIS SINKER AND IT STAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLATE AND THAT'S WHY HE'S GOT -- RANGER HAS TO STAY OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE PLATE AND DOWN THE RIGHT FIELD LINE FOR AN EASY DOUBLE. >> SALVADOR PEREZ HOMERED LAST NIGHT, 2 FOR 4. AND DEFENSE, BOHM AT THIRD AND TURNER AT SHORT AND STOTT AT SECOND AND HARPER AT FIRST AND HE BOUNCES THAT PAST VANCE WILSON. AUSTIN HAYS IN LEFT FIELD AND BRANDON MARSH GETS THE START IN CENTER AND CASTELLANOS OVER IN RIGHT. LAST NIGHT, THE ROYALS WERE 1 FOR 8 WITH RUNNERS IN SCORING POSITION. >> A NICE YEAR FOR HIM PARTICULARLY AGAINST RIGHT HANDERS WITH THE 8.58 OPS. >> 40 POINTS HEAVIER AGAINST LEFT HANDERS. THAT'S ON THE HAND AND OUT TO SHORT LEFT. THE RUN IS TURNER. IN HAYS, AND HAYS S THERE AND MAKES THE CATCH. NO RUN >>> CASTELLANOS READY TO LEAD THINGS OFF, AND THE BLUE MOON BRIGHT SPOT, CASTELLANOS SINCE THE 17th OF JUNE HITTING .305 AND 18 DOUBLES AND OPS OF .853 HAS ENABLED HIM TO RAISE HIS BATTING AVERAGE TO WHERE IT SITS NOW AND YOU MAY SAY .248? THAT'S AWFUL LILO BUT CONSIDER WHERE HE WAS WHEN THE STRETCH BEGAN. HE IS AT .292 IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST AND WILL START THINGS OFF IN THE SECOND AND THREW 19 PITCHES IN THE FIRST INNING. FOULED BACK TO THE SCREEN. FANDUEL PRESENTS LIVE LINES, THE OVER-UNDER 8.5, PRETTY TIGHT AS FAR AS THE FAVORITE GOES. INSIDE CORNER, 1-2 ACCORDING TO MARK CARLSON. SINGER WAS ORIGINALLY DRAFTED BY THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. HE DID NOT SIGN BUT WAS DRAFTED IN THE SECOND ROUND AND WENT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA WHERE THE ROYALS TOOK HIM IN THE FIRST ROUND. THAT PITCH DOWN LOW. THE SEC PITCHER OF THE YEAR IN THE JUNIOR 18 AND CALLED STRIKE THREE, ONE OUT, SECOND STRIKEOUT. >> A REALLY GOOD SPOT BY SINGER, KEEPS IT DOWN IN THE ZONE AND I THINK NICK CASTELLANOS IS LOOKING FOR A BREAKING BALL. >> SO ONE AWAY. BRYSON STOTT STANDS IN. STOTT HITTING .235 AND HE WAS 1-3 LAST NIGHT. SAID HE LINED A BALL TO CENTER FIELD AND THAT WAS THE ONE WHERE HE GOT THE BASE HIT AND HE WAS CERTAINED BECAUSE HIS COLLEGE ROOMMATE, KYLE ISBEL, WAS OUT THERE AND HE SAID YOU KNOW, HE CAN GO GET IT AND HE IS RIGHT. HE IS ONE OF THE BETTER DEFENSIVE CENTER FIELDERS IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL. >> HE IS A CONVERTED INFIELDER AND HE WAS AN INFIELDER PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE -- THE ENTIRE -- >> CAREER. >> YEAH. >> STRIKE, 3-1. >> MADE THE CONVERSION AND AN INSTINCTIVE PLAYER AND THEY WERE A DOUBLE PLAY PARTNER. >> THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO CATCH UP TODAY. SWING AND A FOUL. >> 3-2. LINE DRIVE, JUST OVER THE GLOVE OF GARCIA INTO LEFT FIELD AND A BASE HIT FOR STOTT JT REALMUTO COMES UP AND HE PROVIDED US WITH THE RALLY HOUSE QUOTE OF THE DAY. IN A RECENT AT BAT HE SAID I STARTED TO FEEL BETTER. MY TIMING FEELS GOOD AND I FEEL LIKE I'M MAKING GOOD SWING DECISIONS AND NOT CHASING FOR THE MOST PART. I JUST HAVE TO KEEP DOING THAT. WELL, HE HAS HIT IN 10 OF THE LAST 12 GAMES. HE HAS 15 HITS IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST WHICH HAS BEEN A GOOD SIGN. >> I THINK IT'S PREDICATED WITH HIM MAKE THE GOOD DECISIONS. WITH WHAT HE HAS DONE MORE CONSISTENTLY, THAT'S WHEN YOU KNOW HE IS GOING GOOD JUST LIKE WHAT YOU SAW FROM BRYSON STOTT THE LAST AT BAT. >> FLY BALL, LEFT CENTER FIELD AND ISBEL ON THE RUN, HANGING UP THERE AND GLIDES UNDER IT AND MAKES THE CATCH. TWO AWAY. MAKE PLANS TO BE THERE FOR WHAT IS SURE TO BE AN EXCITING DIVISIONAL MATCHUP NEXT WEEK WHEN THE PHILLIES TAKE ON THE BRAVES THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, ALL FOUR NIGHT GAMES AND THURSDAY IS GERMAN HERITAGE CELEBRATION. AND THEN THE MORES CHILDREN'S CHILDHOOD CANCER ASH WEARNESS NIGHT. GET YOUR TICKETS BY GOING TO PHILLIES.COM. BRANDON MARSH THE HITTER AND THE THROW TO FIRST AND STOTT WAS ALMOST PICKED OFF. >> PASQUANTINO ALMOST GOT PICKED OFF, TOO. A LITTLE ERRANT THROW BUT IT WAS CLOSE. TAGGED HIM ON THE BUTTOCKS THERE. >> LIKE STOTT IS TRYING TO TIME BRADY SINGER. >> SALVEY PEREZ THROWS THE BALL WELL BUT SINGER IS A GUY YOU CAN RUN ON WITH THE GOOD JUMP BUT YOU HAVE TO ET THE GOOD START. >> 1-1. >> 1-2. >> THAT PITCH FOR MOST LEFT HANDERS IS A PITCH TO HANDLE PRETTY WELL. BUT BRANDON MARSH SWINGS OVER IT. >> HE IS ALLOWED 12 HOME RUNS TO LEFT HANDERS THIS YEAR AND A CALLED STRIKE 3. THAT PITCH >>> I HATE TO REVISIT IT BUT THE GIANT HOME RUN FROM LAST NIGHT WAS THIS ONE BY HUNTER RENFROE AND IT PROVES TO BE AN IMPORTANT ONE, TWO IN THE INNING. >> A FASTBALL DOWN THE MIDDLE, ONE FOR 2 AND A COUPLE OF WALKS AND A HOME RUN AND THAT WAS YOUR HOME RUN REPLAY BROUGHT TO YOU BY GIANT. >> RENFROE HAS HIT IN FIVE STRAIGHT GAMES. ONE OF THE FEW WITH AT BAT AGAINST RANGER SUAREZ, 1-5 AGAINST RANGER. RANGER'S LAST WIN WAS JUNE 8. JULY 22nd HIS LAST GAME. FIRST PITCH IN THERE, 0-1 AND THE PHILLIES HAVE WON IN GAMES SINCE THE LAST WIN BUT LOCKED ON 1060RYS TRYING TO GET TO A CAREER-HIGH 11 FOR QUITE SOME TIME. GOOD PITCH, 0-2. >> OLD UNCLE CHUCK, ONE OF THE MORE EFFECTIVE PITCHES WHEN HE WAS GOING GOOD. >> THROIS ANOTHER ONE AND THE OPPOSITION IS HITTING A PAULRY .171. >> LOOK AT THIS. IT DIVES UNDER THE ZONE AND THAT'S A GREAT PITCH. >> MICHAEL MASSEY TAKES A STRIKE. 2 FOR 4 LAST NIGHT. HE IS HITTING .33 333 IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST AND HAS 18 HITS. PHILLY'S PITCHING STAFF WITH THE BEST E.R.A. IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE AND RANGER BARE HANDLES. UH-OH. HE HAD IT ALL THE WAY. >> HE IS CASUAL. >> 1-3 ON THE PUTOUT. I THOUGHT HE WOULD PICK IT UP WITH HIS GLOVE AND TAG HIM. >> SLIP IT UNDERHAND TO THE GUY BUT HE KNEW HE HAD PLENTY OF TIME. PICKED IT UP AND TOSSED IT, BOOP. NO BIG DEAL. HE TRUSTS HIMSELF. I KNOW THAT. >> OH, HE TRUSTS HIMSELF. >> JUST A BIT LOW. >> FERMIN HAS EXCELLENT NUMBERS AGAINST LEFT HANDERS, .364 AVERAGE AND CAME OFF THE BENCH AND PROMPTLY HIT A DOUBLE DOWN THE LEFT FIELD LINE. >> HAVING PITCHCOM ISSUES. BUT THAT'S OKAY. 2-1. FERMIN FOULS THAT DOWN THE LEFT FIELD LINE. >> SEE THE NUMBERS VERSUS LEFT HANDERS. A PROFESSIONAL HITTER. BEEN IN THE KANSAS CITY ORGANIZATION FOR QUITE SOME TIME, THE 29-YEAR-OLD VETERAN. OH, GREAT PITCH. >> REALLY GOOD PITCH. JUST A LITTLE INSIDE. AND IT'S A GOOD SPOT. >> THAT'S A PINCH THAT WAS EVER- SO EFFECTIVE, THE FASTBALL INSIDE ON RIGHT HANDERS, DIDN'T QUITE COME BACK OVER THE PLATE AND CAN SET UP THE NEXT FEW PITCHES. >> CALLED STRIKE THREE AND THAT IS A THI CENTRAL STARTING AT 6:00 RIGHT HERE ON NBC SPORTS PHILADELPHIA PRESENTED BY YOUR LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERS. KAUFFMAN STADIUM, A BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND MORE THAN 60 YEARS OLD AND REFURBISHING IT, AND SPICING IT UP A BIT AND TRYING TO GET A NEW STADIUM ON THE BORDER BUT CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE FUNDING TOGETHER 92 AUSTIN HAYS LEADS IT OFF. >> REMEMBER THE GROUNDS CREW GUY, HE WAS -- I MEAN, HE WAS LEGENDARY. THIS PLACE IMMACULATE. I KNOW IT WAS TURF BUT IT WAS IMMACULATE AND THEY CONVERTED IN '95 AND DID A NICE JOB. ALL THE SUPER BOWLS? >> UP THROUGH 2023. 1-2. THERE IT IS. IT'S A DEEP BALLPARK, THE ALLEY, LEFT CENTER FIELD IN AND RIGHT CENTER FIELD AND FOUR STRIKEOUTS AND 1 AWAY AND THAT BRINGS KYLE SCHWARBER UP. AND TIME FOR THE MINOR LEAGUE REPORT, CODY LEMMENS, 18 GAMES IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST, .329 WITH A COUPLE OF HOME RUNS AND FIVE DOUBLES. >> MIGHT BE SEEING HIM SOME TIME SOON. >> POSSIBLY. >> SCHWARBER TAKES IT LOW, 1-0. >> AND HE DID A NICE JOB IN THE BIG LEAGUES. HE IS HEALTHY NOW. >> LINE DRIVE, BASE HIT INTO RIGHT FIELD AND RENFROE WILL CUT IT OFF AND THE THROW BY RENFROE, OFFLINE AND TWO DOUBLES ON THE NIGHT FOR KYLE SCHWARBER. >> WOW, IS THAT A GOOD SIGN. AND HE DRIVES ONE TO LEFT FIELD IN HIS FIRST AT BAT AND POUNDS ONE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FIELD AND HE WAS BUSTING IT OUT OF THE GATE AND TWO ALL THE WAY. A VERY GOOD DISTANCIVE OUTFIELDER. BUT TAKING IT TO THE RIGHT FIELD LINE SO MUCH SO HE HAD TO MAKE A PERFECT THROW. KYLE PICKS UP THE SECOND DOUBLE. TREA TURNER FOULED OUT THE FIRST TIME UP. CHECK SWING. WITH THE GROUNDOUT LAST TIME UP, HE IS OVERALL 0 FOR THE LAST 19. THE TOP THREE HITTERS ON THE ROAD TRIP CAME INTO THE GAME 4 FOR 47 WITH 20 STRIKEOUTS. CHANGED A BIT NOW WITH SCHWARBER'S TWO DOUBLES. >> AND IT'S UNCHARACTERISTIC, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE PHILLIES ARE HAVING TROUBLE. AND THEY HAVE TO GET IT GOING AND LIKE TO SEE KYLE PICK UP A COUPLE OF DOUBLES TONIGHT. >> 2-1. OUTSIDE, 3-1. THE WALK THING IS REMARKABLE TO ME. THE HOME RUN PART IS FOUR STRAIGHT WITHOUT A HOME RUN, AND THE FIRST TIME SINCE AUGUST 2022 BUT THE FACT THAT THEY ONLY HAVE FIVE WALKS IS MIND BLOWING. RENFROE'S THROW TO THE PLATE OFFLINE AND IT'S AN RBI SINGLE AND THE PHILLIES ARE ON THE BOARD. IT'S A 1-0 GAME THAT ENDS IN 0 FOR 19 FOR TREA TURNER, AND THEY WERE GOING TO SEND SCHWARBER NO MATTER WHAT. >> AND ARE HIS OTHER AT BAT MOVES HIM TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND PUNCHES INTO THE FOUR HOLE AND A VERY GOOD DEFENDER BUT A NICE JOB BY SCHWARBER GETTING THE GOOD JUMP AND ALLOWING HIM TO SCORE. >> AND NOW HARPER IS UP WITH THE PHILLIES UP 1-0, FOUR HITS FOR THE PHILS AND A PITCH OUTSIDE, 1-0. ONLY A FIRST PITCH STRIKE THREE TIMES WITH THE 12 FITTERS HE HAS FACED. 2-0. AND I HAVE TO SAY I WAS SURPRISED WHEN WAVING. I DON'T THINK IT MATTERED WHERE THE BALL WAS. HE WAS GOING TO SEND HIM. 2-1. DUSTY WALKER, HIS DAD JOHN, THE FORMER MANAGER AND COACH FOR THE KANSAS CITY ROYS.

HAS HAD A COUPLE OF QUICK OUTS WITH IT. PROBABLY HAD A SCUFF ON IT, DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO USE IT. ANOTHER AMAZING THING TO ME. >> UPSTAIRS, 1-0. >> I MEAN, NOWADAYS WITH A SCUFF, THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO WHICH IS ODD BUT -- >> IT IS. >> YOU THROW A PITCH AND NO ONE KNOWS WHERE IT WILL GO. >> 2-1. >> BRYSON STOTT IN HIS FIRST TIME UP, SINGLED INTO LEFT FIELD. >> 2-2. HE WILL APPEAL TO THE THIRD BASE UMPIRE. >> A NICE JOB BY STOTT LAYING OFF THAT. THAT WAS A NASTIED SLIDER, THE BACK FOOT SLIDER.

THE INFIELD HIT FOR REALMUTO WITH RUNNERS AT FIRST AND SECOND AND TWO MEN DOWN. >> AND THIS PLAY IS MADE MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE THIRD BASEMAN COMPANIES ACROSS. GARCIA HAS GREAT RANGE AND BLOCKED OFF BOBBY WITT JR. A BIT BUT JT RUNS WELL ENOUGH THAT HE MAKES IT -- I DON'T THINK THERE WAS A PLAYER TO GET HIM BUT BOBBY WITT JR. MADE IT AWFULLY CLOSE. >> THAT WAS A REALLY NICE PLAY, TOO, BY PASQUANTINO AND HERE IS BRANDON MARSH. THAT WAS A SLIDER. >> AND YOU THINK THAT THAT PITCH WOULD GIVE YOU AN INDICATION OF HOW HE WILL PITCH. WOULD YOU AGREE? >> YEAH. >> WELL, MAYBE NOT.

A LOT OF SINKING ACTION BE ON IT. >> TAPPER, LEFT SIDE. BROKEN BAT, CHARGING WITT AND THROWS ON THE RUN AND TURNER LEGS IT OUT. AND THAT WAS SOME OF THE BEST MOVEMENT UP THE LINE.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS FULLY HEALTHY NOW AND CONFIDENCE. >> THAT ONE LINED OUT TO RIGHT CENTER FIELD AND WILL SPLIT THE GAP AND GO TO THE WALL AND TURNER TO THIRD AND THEY'LL WAVE HIM HOME AND HE WILL BE ABLE TO SCORE.

AND ALSO REALLY GOOD IS WHAT RANGER SUAREZ HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO. UPSTAIRS. 1-1. >> THAT SOUNDED LIKE A FOUL TIP. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT JT IS ARGUING RIGHT NOW. >> HE IS ASKING IF THEY CAN TALK TO THE OTHER UMPIRES ABOUT IT. >>> I HEARD IT FROM HERE. >> IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING. >> CAN'T TELL HERE. >> IT MIGHT HAVE HIT RENFROE'S HAND. AND IT HIT SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW, HIS HAND OR WHAT. >> IT MIGHT HAVE JUST SKIPPED OFF THE BAT ABOVE THE HAND. AND AGAIN, IT'S NOT REVIEWABLE. IT'S NOT REVIEWABLE AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY COULD TELL US BY THAT. BUT IT'S 2-1. NOT MUCH ON THAT ONE. 3-1. THAT ONE HIT WELL DOWN THE LEFT FIELD LINE, FOUL. AND A CALLED STRIKE THREE. SIX STRIKEOUTS AND CHECK THAT. HOLD ON. FOUR STRIKEOUTS FOR RANGER SUAREZ. BRADY SINGER ON THE VERGE. >> HE CANNOT MAKE A BETTER PITCH THAN HE DID RIGHT HERE. THE FASTBALL THAT SINKS OVER THE PLATE ON RIGHT HANDERS AND FREEZING RENFROE ON A SLOW BREAKING BALL PRIOR TO THAT. A NICE JOB BY RANGER. >> YEAH, BIG TIME AND NOW, MASSEY IS THE BATTER. AND THIS ONE FOULED TOWARDS THE DUGOUT. AND THAT IS PERFECT JUSTICE THAT HE THEY GOT HIM CONSIDERING HE FOUL TIPPED IT AND WENT TO 2-1. DOWN AND AWAY, 1-1. 1-2. OUTSIDE. LOW, 2-2. VELOCITY HAS BEEN GOOD FOR RANGER. COMMAND HAS BEEN EXCELLENT FOR SUAREZ. AGAIN, HIS LAST TIME HE WAS ON THE MOUND, HE THREW 57 PITCHES AND THEN THREW 20 MORE IN THE BULLPEN. THAT'S WHY THEY ANTICIPATE HE COULD GO 90 PITCHES TONIGHT. OUTSIDE, 3-2 AND WHO KNOWS? THE POSITIONS ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. LIVE BATTING PRACTICE. 3-2 PITCH. FLY BALL RIGHT CENTER FIELD ON THE RUN IS MARSH. HE WON'T GET THERE AND THAT'S A HOP OFF THE BASE OF THE WALL AND MASSEY WILL PULL INTO SECOND AND THAT IS JUST THE SECOND HIT FOR THE ROYALS. THE 1-OUT DOUBLE. >> MASSEY WITH THE FASTBALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLATE AND TURNS ON IT AND LITERALLY SPLITS THE GAP IN HALF FOR MARSH TO GET HIM. HOLDING HIM TO JUST TWO. >> FREDDY FERMIN STRUCK OUT LOOKING HIS FIRST TIME UP. A PITCH OUTSIDE, 1-0. >> 1-1. GOT AROUND THAT ONE QUICKLY. >> IT'S A HARD STRIKE. THAT'S ALL. >> THAT ONE IS OFF THE END OF THE BAT AND FLIPPED INTO THE RIGHT FIELD, A BASE HIT AND SEND THE RUNNER HOME. CASTELLANOS' THROW TO SECOND, AND THE ROYALS ARE ON THE BOARD. IT'S NOW A 2-1 GAME AND I DON'T KNOW, RUBEN. I THINK HE IS GETTING A LITTLE TIRED. >> NO QUESTION. SHE TAKING MORE TIME IN BETWEEN PITCHES. I MEAN, THIS IS AN AWFULLY GOOD PITCH AND FOR ME, STAYS ON LONG ENOUGH TO FLIP IT OUT TO RIGHT FIELD AND MASSEY WILL SCORE EASILY ON THIS BALL, NOT HIT VERY WELL. AND KEEPING THE DOUBLE PLAY IN ORDER. HE MADE HIS PITCH. DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF LUCK WITH IT. >> NOW, HERE IS BLANCO WHO WALKED HIS FIRST TIME UP, A TAPPER OFF THE GLOVE FROM SUAREZ, BARE HANDED BY BOHM AND THE THROW TO FIRST AND TAKEN ON THE HOP BY BRYCE HARPER. GOT HIS THROWING HAND A LITTLE BIT. I AM SURE THAT WILL BE A BASE HIT. THAT WILL PUT RUNNERS ON FIRST AND SECOND FOR THE NUMBER NINE HITTER, ISBEL. >> RANGER TO HIS RIGHT AND IT JUST TIPPED OFF HIS GLOVE. WHEN HE REDIRECTS IT, IT MAKES A MUCH MORE DIFFICULT PLAY FOR ALEC BOHM AND KIND OF TOSSES A HAIL MARY AT FIRST BASE WITH NO REAL CHANCE TO GET HIM. THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE HIM A LITTLE TIME. IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS TIRING AND THEY ARE NOTICING IT IN THE DUGOUT AS WELL AND PROBABLY GETTING ACTION GOING IN THE BULLPEN. >> HERE COMES CALEB AND THE SIMULATED GAMES, LIVE BATTING PRACTICE, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, HARD TO REPLICATE THE ENERGY OF THE OVERALL GAME. >> HARD WITH EVERY SINGLE PITCH. I MEAN, YOU MAKE ONE MISTAKE AND IT CHANGES THE GAME. >> TAKE AWAY FROM THE EAGLES' FINAL PRE-SEASON GAME THIS AFTERNOON VERSUS THE VIKINGS, SCORE WISE DIDN'T GO SO WELL, THAT AND MORE ON YOUTUBE AND ALL MAJOR PODCAST PLATFORMS. >> THE OTHER RUBE. >> YOU ARE R-U-B-E. HE IS R-O-B-E. DID YOU KNOW YOU WERE R-U-B-E? AND THEY WOULD LOVE TO GET RANGER THROUGH FIVE. >> DO YOU SEE YOURSELF POSSIBLY BUNTING IN THIS SITUATION? >> STRIKE ONE. 0 -1. >> .163 HITTER OFF LEFTIES COMING IN. THIS IS A BIG SPOT IN THE GAME. ALSO ON HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT UNLESS HE ROLLS A DOUBLE PLAY BALL HERE IT MAY VERY WELL BE HIS LAST INNING. >> THERE'S A STRIKE. >> EXCELLENT SPOT ON THE FASTBALL. >> THE PITCHINGS BY INNING. >> 20 PITCHES IN THE INNING RIGHT NOW. >> OH, WOW. AND A CALLED STRIKE THREE. >> BOY, HE JUST THREW A COUPLE OF BLACK-OUT PITCHES ON THAT PLAY. SUPER SPOT THERE, THE PUNCHOUT ITSELF. >> MAIKEL GARCIA, 0-1. >> UP HIGH, 1-1. >> AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE KNOWS THIS WILL BE HIS LAST INNING. MAYBE OVERTHROWING THAT PITCH A BIT UP IN THE ZONE. >> THIS IS DEFINITELY THE GUY YOU WANT TO GET WITH BOBBY WITT JR. LOOMING ON DECK. >> BOUNCER UP THE THIRD BASE LINE, FOUL, 2-2. 25 PITCHES THIS INNING. >> CLEARLY HIGH-STRESS PITCHES. WITH THE GAME BEING SO TIGHT. SEE IF THEY WILL DECIDE TO RUSH THE FASTBALL IN ON HIM HERE AFTER THE CHANGEUP. >> AND A CALLED STRIKE THREE RIGHT ON THE INSIDE PART OF THE PLATE. THAT IS A SUPER-CHARGED EFFORT BY RANGER SUAREZ TO LEAVE TWO ON BASE. FIVE INNINGS, ONE THE PHILLY OF BROUGHT TO YOU BY INDEPENDENCE BLUE CROSS. AARON NOLA WOULD BE PROUD OF THAT GUY AND I THINK IT WOULD BE HIS LAST INNING BUT WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH SCATTERING THREE HITS IN THE LAST INNING. >> 33% CHANGES, 28% CURVE BALLS AND 21% FOUR SEAMERS. >> LET'S SEE IF THE PHILLYS CAN GET RUNS HERE UP BY ONE, 2-1. >> MOVE THE BALL IN AND OUT. >> WE DON'T FINISH HE IS DONE BUT KERKERING IS STILL THROWING IN THE PEN. WE ASSUME THAT HE IS DONE. THERE'S KERKERING. >> 1 REASON HE WAS SO EFFECTIVE, 15 OUT OF 19 FIRST- PITCH STRIKES. THAT'S HOW DO YOU IT. I WOULD LIKE TO SPREAD IT OUT A BIT, TOM AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO GET A COUPLE OF RUNS. >> THE PITCHES BY INNING FOR SINGER. >> IT HAS TO BE HIS LAST INNING, I GOTTA BELIEVE. >> YEAH. >> POPPED UP, OUT ON SHALLOW RIGHT FIELD AND RENFROE IS IN. OH, MY GOODNESS. MASSEY WAS OUT, AND THEY JUST LET IT DROP. THAT IS RENFROE'S BALL. MASSEY DIDN'T LOOK COMFORTABLE GOING BACK ON THE BALL AT ALL AND I AM SURPRISED THAT RENFROE DIDN'T BUST IN. MAYBE HE THOUGHT HE HEARD SOMETHING. HE CALLED IT. MAYBE THOUGHT HE HEARD RENFROE SAY SOMETHING. WE'LL TAKE IT. YOU HAVE TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT MISTAKE. ANY TIME A TEAM MADE A MISTAKE AGAINST THE PHILLIES, THEY CAPITALIZED EVERY TIME AND SEE IF THEY CAN DO IT AGAIN HERE. >> 1-1. >> THE DEFENSE DOESN'T MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF ERRORS. KANSAS CITY HAS ONE OF THE BETTER DEFENSES IN ALL OF BASEBALL AND ONE OF THE REASONS THEY HAVE PLAYED SO WELL LATELY, PITCHING AND DEFENSE. >> THAT GOES DOWN AS A BASE HIT, DOESN'T IT? >> IT DOES. >> THEY HAVE SAM LONG WARMING UP IN THE BULLPEN FOR THE ROYALS. TOWARDS SECOND BASE AND OH, IT TOOK A BAD HOP. OH, MAN. DANGER. CASTELLANOS ON HIS WAY TO THIRD AND THAT'S A BAD HOP BASE HIT. >> TAILOR-MADE, GROUND BALL, DOUBLE PLAY AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT HIT A FROG BETWEEN THE BASE PATHS AND BOUNCE WELL UP OVER MASSEY. >> THAT'S INCREDIBLE. >> IT IS INCREDIBLE. YOU DON'T SEE THIS HAPPEN VERY OFTEN IN DANGER LEAGUE -- I THINK IT HIT THE LIP. >> THE LIP OF THE GRASS, YES. >> AND IT TOOK A PHILLIES' BOUNCE. A COUPLE OF GIFTS FOR THE PHILS. LET'S TAKE ADVANTAGE. >> FIRST AND THIRD AND NOBODY OUT AND REALMUTO IS THE BATTER. HE HAD A COUPLE OF ROUGH BATTERS HERE. >> TYPICALLY, A VERY SOLID DEFENSIVE SECOND BASEMAN. BUT THAT SECOND ONE WAS CERTAINLY NOT HIS FAULT. >> OUTSIDE, 1-0. >> PLAYING AN ABBREVIATED INFIELD. IF THE BALL IS HIT HARD, THEY WILL PROBABLY TRY TO TURN A DOUBLE PLAY IF THEY DON'T THINK CASTELLANOS WILL DECIDE TO GO TO HOME AND AS A RUNNER IN THIRD BASE, IF THE BALL IS HIT ON THE GROUND, YOU HAVE TO AND FORCE HIM TO THROW HOME. >> 2-0. >> SALVY IS NOT MOVING ALL THAT WELL. BUT HIS HANDS ARE TREMENDOUS. >> BASICALLY, JUST KNOCK IT DOWN. >> THAT'S ALL HE NEEDS TO DO, JUST KNOCK IT DOWN AND HE HAS DONE A FEW TIMES TODAY. >> THEY ARE GOING TO GET HIM AFTER THIS BATTER BECAUSE HE HAS NO COMMAND. >> AND HE IS TIRED. YOU CAN SEE THE REACTION, NOT GREAT BODY LANGUAGE ON THE MOUND AFTER. THIS >> AND A HIGH FLY BALL DEEP DOWN THE LEFT FIELD LINE AND IT IS GONE! A THREE-RUN HOME RUN FOR JT! THE HOMERLESS BROUGHT IS OVER AND THE PHILLIES LEAD IT 5-1! WELL, THAT IS MORE LIKE IT. >> THAT IS ABSOLUTELY HUGE. A COUPLE OF MISTAKES AND PROBLEMS FOR THE KANSAS CITY ROYALS. THE PHILLIES DO TAKE ADVANTAGE. THIS IS WHAT TO DO UP IN THE COUNT. HE GETS THE FASTBALL ON THE INSIDE PART AND HE HAMMERS IT, A GREAT, GREAT PIECE OF HITTING. >> THAT'S IT FOR BRADY SINGER. HE'LL CHECK OUT AND >>> OUR AUDI ELECTRIC PLAY AND HERE IT IS. >> THE SINKER, TURNS ON IT, SUPER SWING AND DRIVES IT OUT OF THE BALLPARK AND PICKS UP PROBABLY THE BIGGEST HOME RUN IN SOME TIME AND THAT'S THE AUDI ELECTRIC PLAY OF THE GAME. >> BRANDON MARSH WITH A CUT AND MISS ON THE FIRST PITCH FROM LONG. THE LAST HOME RUN WITH SOMEONE ON BASE WAS ALEC BOHM ON THURSDAY. 0-2. >> YOU SAID IT. CAPITALIZE ON THE MISTAKES, AND ONE OF THE MISTAKES, CALLED STRIKE THREE AS MARSH IS DOWN LOOKING. >> ONE OF THE MISTAKES, THE BAD HOP. NOT MUCH TO DO IF YOU ARE THE ROYALS, AND THE OTHER YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT. THIS IS THE 30th GAME FOR SAM LONG. SINGER'S IRAQ TO THE BAD HOP BASE HIT ON A BALL THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DOUBLE PLAY BALL. >> I MEAN, THE BODY LANGUAGE, I MEAN, AS A PROFESSIONAL YOU HAVE TO GET ON THE MOUND AND DO YOUR JOB. I KNOW IT WAS AN UNFORTUNATE THING THAT HAPPENED BUT IT SEPARATES THE MEN FROM THE BOYS IN A LOT OF WAYS. YOU CAN'T CONTROL CERTAIN THINGS AND YOU HAVE TO GO ON THE MOUND AND MAKE PITCHES. >> 28 YEARS OLD AND YOU WILL HAVE SITUATIONS LIKE THAT. >> AND I KNOW THE GUY PITCHED A PRETTY GOOD GAME. AND IT'S YOUR JOB. YOU CAN ONLY CONTROL YOUR VERY NEXT PITCH. THAT'S ALL YOU CAN CONTROL. >> OVER TO THIRD, SLIDING PLAY MADE BY GARCIA. AND THE THROW OVER TO FIRST, 5- 3 ON THE PUTOUT, TWO AWAY. AND KYLE SCHWARBER COMING UP. >> GARCIA, WHO IS A SHORTSTOP BY TRADE, EXCELLENT RANGE, A HECK OF A PLAY, VERY GOOD DEFENSIVE SHORTSTOP COMING THROUGH THE SYSTEM. NICE PLAY BY GARCIA. >> DOWN LOW. 1-0 TO SCHWARBER. >> 2-1. ON THE INSIDE CORNER, 2-2. BOY, THAT ONE WAS IN THE NITRO ZONE. >> HE HAD AN ATTACK AT THIS BALL. I MEAN, HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HIT THIS 500 FEET. >> THIS WILL BE THE EIGHTH PITCH OF THE AT BAT. BOUNCED FOUL OVER THE TOP OF THE ROYALS' DUGOUT. >> A REALLY GOOD AT BAT BY KYLE SCHWARBER THIS BALL GAME. SEEING THE BALL MUCH BETTER AND NOT SURE THE OUTCOME OF THIS AT BAT BUT REALLY LIKE HIS APPROACH RIGHT NOW. >> THAT GOES BACK TO THE SCREEN. >> I MEAN, IT'S A GOOD THING. I AM GLAD IT DIDN'T HIT HIS HANDS. >> IT IS A GOOD THING. TO THE RIGHT SIDE, A DIVING STOP MADE BY MASSEY, AND THE THROW TO FIRST AND THE INNING IS OVER BUT THE PHILLIES GET BROUGHT TO YOU BY PENNSYLVANIA LOTTERY. PLAYERS MUST BE 18 OR OLDER. PLEASE PLAY RESPONSIBLY AND BY FORD, BROUGHT TO YOU BY YOUR LOCAL FORD STORE. VISIT BUYAFORD.COM TODAY. AND THE PHILLIES ARE MUCH HAPPIER UP 5-1 IN KANSAS CITY AND THAT'S A COOL SHIRT.

OUTSIDE, 2-0. THAT'S A WHILE. >> NICE TO SEE. HE IS DRIVING THE BALL THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD A LOT MORE LATELY AND HE DOESN'T NEED TO HIT THE BALL OUT OF THE BALLPARK, JUST MAKE GOOD SOLID CONTACT, GAP TO GAP. THAT'S WHERE HIS MONEY IS. >> A MULTI-HIT GAME HERE IN AUGUST. PHILLIES' POSTGAME LIVE IS COMING UP AFTER THIS BALL GAME PRESENTED BY CURE AUTO INSURANCE. DOWN THE LEFT FIELD LINE. THAT WILL SLICE INSIDE THE LINE. IT'S A BARE FAIR BALL. CASTELLANOS TO THIRD AND DOUBLE FOR STOTT, SECOND AND THIRD AND NOBODY OUT AND HAVE A NICE NIGHT, BRYSON STOTT. >> YOU TALK ABOUT A GREAT JOB OF HITTING. THIS IS A BREAKING BALL ON THE OUTSIDE PART OF THE PLATE AND HE HAS BEEN COLLAPSING ON THE BACKSIDE AND WORKING UNDER THE BASEBALL. AND THIS ONE, NO MOVEMENT, STAYS THROUGH IT AND DRIVES IT TO LEFT FIELD AND FEATURED INSIDE THE LINE. AND HE HAS A KNOCK. >> NOW, JT HOMERED THE LAST TIME UP AND THE INFIELD IS IN. >> 11 HITS LAST NIGHT, PRETTY GOOD SIGN. THE STAFF, THEY CAN PITCH. >> THE FIRST FOUR-HIT GAME OF THE YEAR AND JT TO DEEP LEFT CENTER FIELD AND THAT ONE IS GONE! THAT IS ANOTHER THREE-RUN HOME RUN FOR REALMUTO.

WILL SMITH THE NEW PITCHER AND BRANDON MARSH TO RIGHT FIELD AND HE IS ON HIS WAY TO SECOND AND GET THERE AND MARSH HAS HIS THIRD HIT OF THE SERIES, AND THE OLD PHILLIES HAVE REARED THEIR HEADS HERE TONIGHT. >> IF YOU DON'T THINK HITTING IS CONTAGIOUS, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS GAME. BRANDON MARSH TURNS ON IT THE SECOND SUCH DOUBLE OF THE SERIES SO FAR AND DRIVES THE BALL TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FIELD. NICE TO SEE THAT FROM BRANDON. >> SWING AND A MISS. 26 HITS IN THE LAST TWO GAMES. LINE DRIVE, BASE HIT INTO LEFT CENTER FIELD FOR HAYS. MARSH WILL SCORE. KEEP IT COMING. MELENDEZ WAS SLOW TO GET TO IT. AND HAYS TRIES TO GO TO SECOND. AND THEY WILL SAY HE IS OUT AT SECOND BUT THE PHILLIES WILL REVIEW IT. FOUR RUNS HAVE SCORED AND HAYS DOES GET AN RBI ON THAT. >> THEY WILL CHECK IT OUT. >> WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS. >> Umpire: PHILADELPHIA IS CHALLENGING THE OUT CALL AT SECOND BASE. >> THANK YOU, MARK. >> I LOVE THE JOB OF HITTING THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN DOING, AND THIS BALL IS DRIVEN UP THE MIDDLE. BRANDON MARSH BREAKS AND SCORES EASILY WITH A GREAT HUSTLE BY AUSTIN HAYS. AND I THINK HE MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN IN THERE AND YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT MELENDEZ NOT BUSTING TOWARDS THE BALL. >> HE'S IN THERE. AT LEAST IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS IN THE BACK SIDE THERE. AND MARK CARLSON IS THE CREW CHIEF AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT THAT IT BACK IN NEW YORK AND JORDAN BAKER MADE THE CALL. HE IS VERY TALL. >> YEAH. HE IS. >> THE CALL IS OUT. ENOUGH TO OVERTURN IT? >> IT LIKES LIKE THERE IS AND THAT HAYS' FOOT WAS ON THE BAG. >> THEY MAY SEE OTHERWISE UP IN NEW YORK. >> IF IT'S TAKING THIS LONG TO LOOK AT IT. >> IT'S SAFE TO ME. >> NOT SURE WHICH UMPIRE IS LOOKING AT IT, CHRIS CONROY OR MARK WAGNER. AGAIN, THE CALL IS OUT. SO IS THERE INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE THAT HIS FOOT WAS IN THERE? IT LOOKED LIKE THERE IS. BUT THE FACT THAT IT WAS TAKING THIS LONG IS A LITTLE CONCERNING. >> THE TAG WAS APPLIED. >> WE MIGHT BE MISSING SOMETHING, AND, OF COURSE, WE ARE NOT BIAS AT ALL. >> A CROWD OF PEOPLE AROUND. HOPE 7 DOING THERE TONIGHT. >> Reporter: AFTER REVIEW, THE CALL ON THE FIELD IS OVERTURNED. THE RUNNER IS SAFE. PHILADELPHIA WILL RETAIN THEIR CHALLENGE. >> SO A DOUBLE FOR HASTE AND HERE COMES JOHAN ROJAS. HE WILL COME IN AND PINCH RUN. THE PHILLIES ON TOP, 9-2. >> KYLE SCHWARBER TAKES STRIKE ONE. >> DID YOU HAPPEN TO SEE THE 50/50 NUMBER? $75,000. IS THAT THAT MANY PEOPLE IN THE BALLPARK? >> IT'S NOT AS MANY AS WE HAVE IN THIS BALLPARK. >> ARE WE ALLOWED? >> I DO BUY IT FROM TIME TO TIME. >> THAT'S A HUGE NUMBER. >> YEAH. >> HOLY MOLEY. >> GAMBLERS HERE IN THE MIDWEST. THE DIFFERENCE IS IT ACCUMULATES OVER THE HOMESTAND. SO WAIT A MINUTE. SO A PERSON DIDN'T WIN EVERY NIGHT? >> IS -- I GUESS NOT. THAT WILL BE THE FIRST OUT OF THE INNING AND IT BRINGS TREA TURNER UP. TURNER WITH A COUPLE HITS TONIGHT. HITTING IS CONTAGIOUS AND HOPEFULLY, IT CARRIES OVER TO SUNDAY. >> AMEN. >> OPPOSITE WAY AND MASSEY HAS IT CLIPPED OFF HIS GLOVE INTO RIGHT FIELD AND HERE COMES ROJAS. HE'LL SCORE. PUTTING A FIVE-SPOT ON THE BOARD HERE IN THE EIGHTH INNING. >> REALLY GOOD SIGNS. HITTING THE BALL THE OTHER WAY WITH CONSISTENCY OVER THE LAST COUPLE GAMES AND TREA TURNER STAYS ON TOP AND DRIVES IT TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND TAKES A TOUGH HOP ON MASSEY, A PLAY HE MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE BUT JOHAN ROJAS SCORING EASILY. >> THE THIRD HIT OF THE NIGHT FOR TREA TURNER AND BRYCE HARPER PULLS ONE FOUL. 0-1. 1-1 >> 2-2. HIT FOUL THE OTHER WAY. >> OUT AND POKED DOWN THE LEFT FIELD LINE. A LONG RUN FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED. AND NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR THEM TO GET UNDER IT. TURNER WILL GO BACK TO FIRST. >> BRYCE DOING A NICE JOB OF SPOILING A COUPLE OF TOUGH PITCHES AWAY. SEE IF HE CAN'T GET A PITCH TO HANDLE HERE. >> SWING AND A MISS AND HARPER STRIKES OUT, TWO OUTS. >> SMITH THROWS THE FASTBALL AWAY AND BRYCE LOOKING AWAY IF HE CAN'T -- THAT'S QUITE AN AT BAT TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THAT. >> YOU KNOW, MORGAN MOVES PRETTY GOOD FOR A BIG MAN DOWN THERE. >> MORGAN GREGORY? >> YEAH. >> YEAH, HE DOES. 1-1 TO BOHM. BOHM TONIGHT, 0 FOR FOUR. THE ONLY GUY THAT HASN'T GOTTEN IN THE SWING OF THINGS HERE TONIGHT, AND IT'S ONLY BOHM AND HARPER THAT HAVEN'T SCORED TONIGHT. CHECK THAT. HAYS DIDN'T SCORE, EITHER. GROUND BALL TOWARDS SHORTSTOP. TO THE GLOVE SIDE AND A >>> JOHAN ROJAS STAYS IN THE GAME AND MOVING FROM LEFT TO CENTER IS BRANDON MARSH AND JEFF HOFFMAN ON THE MOUND AND ADAM FRAZIER WILL PINCH HIT. AND WE GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE EIGHTH, THE PHILLIES IN CONTROL UP 10-2 AND WE HAVEN'T SAID THAT THAT OFTEN IN RECENT WEEKS. INSIDE, 1-0. >> THE RECENT WHY JEFF HOFFY MAN IS IN THE GAME, IT'S BEEN THREE DAYS SINCE HE PICKED AND ROB THOMSON IS GIVING HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET WORK IN HERE. FOULED BACK. IT'S 2-1.

HE IS RETIRED ON THE PLAY BUT HIS GREAT NIGHT CONTINUES AND THE PHILLIES ARE ON TOP 11-2. >> LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF PHILLIES FANS HERE TONIGHT. >> SERIOUS. YOU THINK THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE HE HAS SEVEN RBIs? THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF THE PHILLIES FANS, FAN. WHEN WESTON WILSON GOT THE CYCLE, THEY KNEW IT WAS HAPPENING AND PROBABLY KNEW IT WAS A CAREER-HIGH FOR SEVEN RBIs. >> 1-0. >> AMAZING. >> REALLY IMPRESSIVE TO SEE. JUST A SEA OF RED. >> POPPED UP FOUL OVER THE PHILLIES DUGOUT AND OUT OF PLAY. THEY ARE CHEERING EVERYTHING NOW. >> 1-2. >> I DON'T THINK THAT BALL BROKE THE WAY HE WANTED IT TO. >> THE SECOND BALL THAT HIT THE POLE TODAY. >> IT MIGHT BE THE SECOND ONE THAT HIT THE POLE THIS AT BAT. AND ALEC BOHM AND BRYCE HARPER CHATTING. 2-2, LOW, BALL 3. ALEC, 0-5 TONIGHT AND HE HAS DONE A LOT OF HEAVY LIFTING FROM A PHILLIES' STANDPOINT THIS ENTIRE YEAR. A BOUNCER TO THE SECOND BASE BANK AND INDEPENDENT BLUE CROSS. LEARN MORE AT IBX.COM. ALL PHILLIES TONIGHT, 11-2 AS WE GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE 9. AND MAX LAZAR WILL BE THE NEW PITCHER FOR THE PHILS. AND WESTON WILSON STAYS IN THE GAME IN LEFT FIELD FROM LEFT TO RIGHT FIELD AND BRANDON MARSH AND HE PLAYED ALL THREE OUTFIELD POSITIONS TONIGHT AND WITH MAX LAZAR COMING ON, IT'S HIS SIXTH BALL GAME, SCORELESS IN 4 2/3 SO FAR AND HE WILL FACE PAUL De JONG, AND EDMUNDO SOSA IN THE GAME AT SECOND BASE. AND THE FIRST PITCH INSIDE, 1- 1. >> 6 POSITIONS AWAY FROM FINISHING OFF THE WHOLE DIAMOND. ITS THE HOLE, BAND HANDED BY TURNER. HE FLIPS ACROSS HIS BODY. IN TIME. THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD PLAY. ONE OUT. >> REALLY ATHLETIC PLAY AND HE GOT SOMETHING ON THE THROW. HE WAS GOING FULL BORE ITS THIRD BASE AND A QUICK RELEASE AND GETS De JONG BY A LONG WAYS. De JONG DOES NOT RUN ALL THAT WELL BUT A SUPER ATHLETIC PLAY BY TREA. >> AND HERE IS GARRETT LAMPSON BATTING FOR THE FIRST TIME. >> I PLAYED ALL NINE POSITIONS ONE GAME. IT WAS REALLY WEIRD. >> PHILLIES POSTGAME LIVE COMING UP AFTER PRESENTED BY CURE AUTO INSURANCE. AND THERE ARE TWO OUTS, AND LOST IN ALL OF THIS AT LEAST AT THIS MOMENT IS WHAT RANGER SUAREZ DID. AND THROWING THE FASTBALL ON THE INSIDE PART OF THE PLATE AND SET UP A LOT OF THE BREAKING PITCHES AND ALL ABOUT HIS COMMAND OF THE FASTBALL AND YOU CAN SEE HIM PUMPING THEM IN AND FOUR OUT OF HIS SIX STRIKEOUTS WERE LOOKING. SORT OF VINTAGE SUAREZ. >> FOULED AWAY BY MASSEY AND IT'S 0-2. WE MENTIONED REALMUTO'S SEVEN RBIs, A CAREER- HIGH AND IT ALSO TIES A FRANCHISE RECORD FOR A CATCHER. IT TIES CARLOS RUIZ'S RECORD. 0-2, SLICED TO LEFT. WILSON'S WAITING AND HE MAKES THE CATCH AND THE BALL GAME IS OVER. A GREAT NIGHT FOR JT REALMUTO AND THE OFFENSE AND A GREAT NIGHT TO HAVE RANGER SUAREZ BACK IN THE ROTATION. AT LEAST FOR TONIGHT, THE PHILLIES HAVE STABILIZED THINGS IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST AS THEY WIN IT COMFORTABLY BY A FINAL SCORE OF 11-2. >> CALL IT A TEAM EFFORT. I MEAN EVERYONE CONTRIBUTING IN THIS ONE AND SOMETIMES, YOU CAN GET SPARKS BY YOUR STARTING PITCHER, AND RANGER SUAREZ ON THE SLAB AND DOING WHAT HE DID WAS JUST HUGE
