Kirby anchored Seattle with a strong outing, limiting Philadelphia to one earned run while piling up strikeouts. Andres Munoz then closed the ninth to preserve the lead.
Cal Raleigh tied the game with a home run in the second. Josh Naylor’s single brought Julio Rodríguez home in the sixth, giving Seattle the lead it would not relinquish. In the seventh, Dominic Canzone’s single brought Taylor Ward and J.P. Crawford across the plate, extending the advantage.
Aaron Nola kept Philadelphia close through the middle innings, but Seattle’s pressure after his departure created separation. The Phillies’ offense produced only one scoring play, Justin Crawford’s single that brought Bryson Stott home.
Seattle extended its winning streak, while Philadelphia’s losing streak continued. The game belonged to the pitchers first, but Seattle’s late support gave that control a lasting shape.
