Overview

  • A sudden 2-hour, 19-minute rain delay preceded the series opener at Truist Park and preceded the offensive breakout.
  • Philadelphia collected 17 hits and scored a season-high 13 runs, matching their largest run total of the year.
  • Trea Turner belted two of the team’s five home runs, while Kyle Schwarber, Nick Castellanos and Otto Kemp each went deep, marking Kemp’s first career homer.
  • The Phillies employed a bullpen game after the delay, with Tanner Banks, Taijuan Walker and Alan Rangel combining on a shutout.
  • The rout halted Philadelphia’s three-game skid following a Houston sweep and restored sole possession of first place in the NL East.
