Ranger last time out he only pitched five innings. This is his 24th start. It's a career high. 12 wins. He's 12 to 6. Mll is 2 to 15 against the Phillies this year overall. Hitting 196 and a liner in the left. That ball is going to be in there. A couple of hops to the bottom of the wall Morrell digging for second and he's in there standing with a double, his 10th double of the year and just like that, the Rays have a scoring opportunity in the first inning , the one pitch and hits one to third that will not move the runner as Clemens picks it throws to first and there's one away. That's what you want to get him to hit it to the left side, especially on the ground to keep that runner from advancing to third with less than two outs. Strike three on the inside part of the plate. First strikeout for Suarez. Well, it probably wasn't a strike to, but this is the beauty of ranger look where that pitch is. It was closed. That one hit sharply off the mound. Big hop to Diaz not really running. So it turns out to be an easy play, no runs, one hit, one man left in scoring position. We're on to the bottom of the first, taking the mound tonight for the Tampa Bay Rays going to be right hander Taj Bradley record of six and 10. Er, a 440 line up Turner Harper and a high fly ball to deep right center field. The Phillies have the lead and kyle Schwarber has the major league season record for leadoff home runs. He now has 14. It is one Phillies. What else can you say? The man is just absolutely incredible to a two. Yeah. Did he go? Yes, he did right back up there. And this time he got the swing one away and this went back to the mound grabbed by Bradley and his toss to first. So two gone two up, two down following the Schwarber home run line drive to right. Josh Lowe makes the grab following the home run. Three up, three down at the end of an inning one. That's one pitch one out here in the second inning. Junior Cainero down in the number six spot. Now liner to left that ball is in for a base hit cro will make a turn and hang at first with a single, a one out single in the second inning. Popper short center got a chance to fall and we out of the reach of CBA advances to second and stops there. Carlson adds a base hit two and that brings up the shortstop tonight. Jose Caballero, there's a liner to left going to be in for a base hit. Here comes cro to score and the Rays are on the board tying this game at a run apiece RB I single for Jose Caballero. Watch the change up and watch cro keep his hands back enough. He is a little bit off balance you're expected to be, but he keeps his hands back. Fires him late, swinging the ground ball sharply hit, but Trey Turner's got it at short. He'll flip it to stop but the Rays tie up the game. This is good. Get a guy on here in a 11 game to bring up Johan. That's pretty well going back. It's over his head off the wall. Marsh is steaming the third and they hold him up. It will be a double. The ball goes loose. Here comes Marsh trying to come home. The Phillies retake the lead 2 to 1 as the Rays throw the ball. Marsh always keep your head up dusty. Watson can't tell you to go. That has to be all on you. Marsh. Read it great and Then Rojas read it perfectly and ended up at third base now with two outs. So a double and an E nine. So no RB I for Rojas just the third error of the year for Lowe Jonathan Aronda will lead off for the Rays against the left hander Suarez. Next pitch is lined over first, a base hit headed to the right field corner and it should be extra bases for as he rounds the bag scoots to second will stop with a leadoff double. This is the second of three innings with the Rays have had a runner at second and now Diaz, there's a base hit into right will score. Diaz comes through and this game is tied 22. So it's back and forth. Just look like the same ranger that we saw in the first half. Can't say that it looks as though his command has been spot on that's floated out to center. It's not deep. It's right at Rojas and he'll come trotting in, puts it away, the inning is over, but the Rays do tie it up an RB I single by Yandy Diaz as we go to the bottom of the third and that's down low ball four 98 walks for here is Trey Turner as the Phillies look to reclaim the lead, a high fly ball to deep left. That one is gone. Run for Trey and the Phillies retake the lead. It's 4 to 2. 17th home run for Trey Turner. That was Majestic. It sure was. And what a great place to hit in the lineup with kyle, swing it like he is Bryce Harper behind you. Deluca struck out looking and popped out to second. That's a liner and a base hit to left sharply in. So Deluca is on, he is one for three chomps it over the head of Harper to right over to third Deluca and the ras will have 1st and 3rd in the fifth inning. Josh Lowe picks up his first hit. It's two for two coming up line drive left field base hit Como Deluca scores and the razor to within a run Lowe goes to second and Como is three for three and it's a 43 Phillies lead that gets the curveball here. It is trying to put him away and look how he stays on it. Boy, great job by Crow off the hands out to first. Should be an easy play for Harper is over a run scores on three hits. We go to the bottom of the fifth inning. That part is open, that spot is open again. They're going to give it to him and he hits one of the air in a deep right field. Lowe going back to the does he have it? And it's gone? But was there interference? Lowe felt like the fan reached over Harper's waiting. This could be a crew chief review. Why don't they do it? Now, the rays think the glove went over the rail, they're going to put him back at second base. But here's the thing too. This is where the Phillies possibly could be getting screwed on this. Yes, it's probably a double Lowe and Deluca both were up against the wall, it could have bounced back and Bryce could have a triple that's now 11 hits for the race. A lot of them singles, but they've been fairly well struck. This is where you want to take advantage of that leadoff man aboard and up comes Christopher. There's a shot. Well, tag center Rojas going back to that deep corner that's going to be off the wall and will bound back toward right center field is going to score. Morell winds up at third and boy , he gave that ball a ride four for a game and Rangers Suarez has given up a career high. 12 hits. They're fortunate that that ball didn't run any more on the warning track or even go out of the ball ball four. He does give up the walk here comes Rob Thompson. So five and a third innings for Rangers Suarez, you're hoping that if you're a Phillies fan that he starts to round into form coming down the stretch, but it has not come easy for him the last month. Plus a little dribbler in front of the plate. Stubbs comes out. He's got it throws to first in time and Kirk leads two here in the sixth inning. Well, there's a one out walk. Phillies have a base runner to work with here in the tie game in the eighth lined over the head of the third baseman. It's a base hit down the line Marsh around second on his way to third headed for second is Clemens and he's in there with a double Phillies in business in the bottom of the eighth with a go ahead run 90 ft away. They're going to go with Stevenson to right field. That's going to bring in two marshall score. Here comes Clemons Stevenson, the second two run double and the Phillies are back on top. You're going for a divisional pen. Everybody needs to contribute off the hands. He does come through Stevenson around third heading home the throw RB I single for Kennedy. It's his first hit in his beloved Phillies uniform. His heart is pounding out of his chest right now. 20 to Turner who now has 17 home runs, fly ball field, Carlson back and exclamation 0.2 run home run for Turner. It's his second homer of the night and the Phillies have busted it wide open 9 to 4 hit by the pitch and he is not happy. The benches are going to clear is already at the mound. Castanos has been hit a handful of times this week. Dusty Watson comes over with brandon Marsh to move Harper away. The bullpen is clear as well going to make it for an interesting game. Three of the series Casto has been hit a few times the last couple of weeks. I mean, he has chirped about it obviously and I think rightfully so, but that was probably the most egregious you're going to get upset by giving up and they say it's not intentional. It doesn't matter, is going to be asked to leave this game. I don't think there's any question about that. The umpires are talking about it right now and Then they warn both teams is gone, fireworks entertainment here tonight in the bottom of the eighth inning and the fans are loving it a little ejection as the Phillies have ejected some life into this ballpark tonight. Here's Dylan Carlson with the bases loaded. Phillies are up 9 to 4 each team with 13 hits. Banks is ready. That one is out to center field. It's not that deep. Here comes Cal Stevenson on the run makes the sliding grab. How about that? For a finish for Cal Stevenson Phillies win it 9 to 4. This one was really good. Very, very satisfying win.
