Phillies Post-Game Wrap-Up: Stott’s Heroics Secure a Win
Beyond the minor league excitement, the Philadelphia Phillies continue to impress, with recent games highlighting their talent. In a thrilling matchup, Bryson Stott’s three-run homer proved to be the decisive factor in the Phillies’ 4-2 victory over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night. Pitcher Ranger Suárez delivered another stellar performance, permitting only one run and four hits over seven effective innings, striking out eight and walking two. Suárez has shown remarkable consistency since his early-season return from injury.
Stott’s fifth homer of the season capped a crucial four-run fourth inning against Marlins pitcher Adam Mazur. J.T. Realmuto contributed with an RBI single before Stott’s powerful drive deep to center. Despite a late rally by the Marlins, Matt Strahm secured his fourth save, clinching the win for Philadelphia. Alec Bohm continued his strong hitting, with two singles and a double, marking his second multihit outing of the series. Nick Castellanos also made a strong return to the lineup, adding a double and a single. Key moments included Jack Winkler’s first major league hit against Strahm in the ninth. The Phillies look to continue their momentum with LHP Christopher Sánchez (5-2, 3.05 ERA) starting against Marlins RHP Edward Cabrera (2-2, 4.10 ERA) on Thursday.
