Overview

• Jesús Luzardo delivered seven shutout innings in Game 2, allowing two hits and one walk to earn his first win since July 9 in Philadelphia’s 6-3 victory.
• Kyle Schwarber and Brandon Marsh each hit two-run homers in the first three innings to spark the Phillies’ early offensive outburst after being held scoreless in Game 1.
• Cristopher Sánchez’s struggles in Game 1 ended his nine-start quality start streak as Colson Montgomery and Luis Robert Jr. homered in Chicago’s 6-2 opening win.
• The Phillies improved to 61–46 and aim to keep pace in the NL East, while the White Sox climbed to 39–69—already surpassing last season’s win total thanks to unexpected power surges.
• Lenyn Sosa’s ninth-inning two-run blast provided Chicago’s only runs in Game 2 but wasn’t enough to overcome Philadelphia’s balanced attack.
