Brandon Marsh set the tone for Philadelphia, homering early and later adding a double. His power supplied the Phillies’ first major push and helped make him the central offensive figure in the win.
Marsh’s homer brought Bryson Stott home and put Philadelphia in front. Alec Bohm then doubled to bring Trea Turner across. After William Contreras’ sacrifice fly scored Garrett Mitchell, Contreras’ single brought David Hamilton and Jackson Chourio home to tie the game. In the eighth, Bryson Stott’s single scored Luis Arraez and Alec Bohm, with a throwing error by Garrett Mitchell allowing the Phillies to take the lead. Marsh followed with a double that brought Stott home.

Colton Gordon took the loss after Philadelphia built its advantage against him, while Jose Alvarado earned the win and Jhoan Duran recorded the save. Luis Lara’s single brought Christian Yelich home in the ninth, but Milwaukee could not complete the comeback.
