Overview

  • Phillips needed only six pitches to close out a 5-3 win over the Blue Jays at LoanDepot Park.
  • He returned less than 24 hours after a 32-pitch outing in an extra-innings loss and worked a clean ninth.
  • In a postgame interview with Marlins radio broadcaster Stephen Strom, he said, "They called down, I'm pissed off, I'm ready to go" and "I don't like hitters."
  • Coverage from outlets including Larry Brown Sports and OutKick emphasized the interview’s tone with sensational descriptions.
  • The 27-year-old was traded from the Phillies for cash in March and, after an uneven start, has a 3.27 ERA with a 0.59 mark in July, while Miami sits 61-69 and out of contention.
