Overview

  • Phillips closed out Miami’s 5-3 win over the Blue Jays on Sunday with six pitches for his second save of the season at LoanDepot Park.
  • His availability raised eyebrows after he threw 32 pitches in an extra-innings loss to Toronto the previous day.
  • In an on-field exchange with Marlins Radio Network’s Stephen Strom, Phillips said, “They call down, I’m pissed off, I’m ready to go,” and added, “I don’t like hitters.”
  • Clips of the interview drew wide attention, with national outlets highlighting the intensity and framing the moment as unusually fierce for a postgame chat.
  • The 27-year-old debuted with the Phillies in 2024, was designated for assignment in March, and traded to Miami for cash considerations, where a strong July helped drop his ERA to 3.27.
