Overview

  • Brandon Marsh delivered a walk-off single in the 11th inning after Bryson Stott and rookie Otto Kemp executed back-to-back bunt hits to load the bases
  • Zack Wheeler returned from the paternity list to pitch six innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts, anchoring Philadelphia’s rotation
  • The victory halted a stretch in which the Phillies had lost five straight games and nine of their previous ten, with the offense batting just .181 in June
