Bryson Stott provided the first breakthrough with a homer, while Aaron Nola kept Arizona in check and the Phillies’ bullpen protected the narrow margin. Brandon Pfaadt also gave the Diamondbacks a strong outing, but Philadelphia’s early offense proved enough.

Bryson Stott’s homer put Philadelphia in front in the second. In the third, Garrett Stubbs scored on Bryce Harper’s double, and Gabriel Moreno answered for Arizona with a double that brought Geraldo Perdomo home.

Arizona’s offense could not produce another scoring play after Moreno’s response. Nola earned the win, and the Phillies’ relief corps—including Jose Alvarado, Alex McFarlane, Orion Kerkering and Brooks Raley—held the lead before Jhoan Duran recorded the save.

Philadelphia extended its winning streak, while Arizona absorbed another close loss. The game stayed defined by the quiet duel that Stott’s early swing had just barely tilted.
