Locked On Phillies - Daily Podcast On The Philadelphia Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-0 in a rain-shortened game Sunday afternoon!  

 

The Win clinches the Phillies FIRST series win since the All-Star Break!

 

For the 2nd straight night, Bryan De La Cruz put the Phillies on the board first; it was an RBI single in the 5th inning of game two of this series and this afternoon it was a 400-foot two-run homer to center field that gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead in the 3rd inning.

 

The Game featured a one hour and forty-nine minute rain delay in the middle of the 3rd inning.  

 

It was up to the Phillies bullpen to keep the Orioles’ bats at bay as the delay cut Zack Wheeler’s start short after two-scoreless innings. The righty allowed just one hit, no walks and struck out three.

As for the Phillies' offense, they scored two more in the 4th inning on a bases loaded four-pitch walk by Bryson Stott and an RBI ground-put by Justin Crawford. In the 5th, Byrce Harper hit his 23rd homer of the season and in the 6th the Phillies scored three more runs thanks to a RBI double from Crawford followed by a pair of sac-fly RBIs by De La Cruz and Kyle Schwarber.

The Philadelphia Phillies snap their 4-game losing streak as Cristopher Sanchez battles through six-scoreless innings in 5-0 Win!

 

Cristopher Sanchez threw six scoreless innings of baseball striking out 11, while allowing just two hits but also walked five. The All-Star lefty, despite the control issues, found a way out of any trouble he faced. Sanchez walked three in the 4th inning allow, but was able to get out of a bases-loaded two-out jam by striking out Taveras with a 1-2 sinker.

 

Sanchez was battling Shane Bax in a pitchers duel and it was Baz who broke first. Bryan De La Cruz finally cracked the scoring open in the 5th with an RBI single to center bringing home Bryson Stott for a 1-0 Phillies lead. The Phillies tacked on four more runs in the 8th thanks to RBI singles by Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh and a two-run single by Justin Crawford.

The Philadelphia Phillies BLOW a 4-2 LEAD and lose to the Baltimore Orioles, 6-4 WASTING a great night for Andrew Painter!

 

Just five weeks after demoting Andrew Painter the Phillies decided the young righty he had improved enough over five starts and recalled him to help the big league club.  

 

Painter did not disappoint.  

 

The 24-year-old shook off a rough first inning, where he gave up a two-run homer to Pete Alonso and tossed six innings of two-run, three-hit, three-walk baseball while striking out six. He sat ten-straight between the 3rd and 6th innings.  

 

Painter’s stuff was noticeably better than his last start for the Phillies back on July 17th. All his pitches  

 

A home runs by Trea Turner and J.T. Realmuto as well as RBI's from Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh helped give the Phillies a 4-2 lead going into the bottom of the 7th.  

 

In the 7th, Orion Kerkering came on in relief and was charged for four runs thanks in part to Tim Mazya who allowed two of Kerkering's runners to score on a two-run triple by Gunner Henderson.

The Philadelphia Phillies eye Toronto Blue Jays arms Kevin Gausman and Jeff Hoffman as the MLB trade deadline looms. Can familiar faces stabilize a bullpen in crisis and bolster a sputtering rotation? Connor Thomas weighs the pros and cons of rumored targets, including George Springer and Daulton Varsho, while discounting aging veterans and overhyped names. With the Phillies’ division hopes slipping and playoff positioning in jeopardy, urgency mounts for Dave Dombrowski to make the right moves.

Connor Thomas also breaks down the Phillies’ latest standings slide—now clinging to the last Wild Card spot—and discusses lineup flexibility, the acquisition market’s thin options, and the critical importance of the upcoming Orioles series. Will patient strategy or deadline fireworks rescue Philadelphia’s postseason aspirations?

The Philadelphia Phillies hit rock bottom after blowing a 6-0 lead and getting swept by the Miami Marlins—can they recover in time to save their playoff hopes? Connor Thomas dissects the Phillies’ latest collapse, spotlighting mental lapses, bullpen woes, and the glaring gap between the team’s potential and its on-field performance. Is an aggressive trade deadline approach the shot in the arm this roster desperately needs, or are deeper problems at play?

Tension rises as manager Don Mattingly and star Bryce Harper spark public friction over roster moves and front office strategy, complicated by Preston Mattingly’s role as GM. Thomas explores which big-league players and top prospects are truly movable, including Alec Bohm, Bryson Stott, and Justin Crawford, and what it might take for Philadelphia to reignite its season. Will new faces—or a change in attitude—be enough to turn the tide before the trade deadline closes?
