Game Updates
The Philadelphia Phillies unleashed a relentless offensive barrage on Monday night, crushing the Baltimore Orioles 13-3 in a game that turned into a statement performance at Citizens Bank Park. Kyle Schwarber stole the show with a monster night, launching two home runs and driving in six runs—including a towering three-run shot that broke the game open in the sixth. The Phillies' lineup feasted on Orioles pitching, with Edmundo Sosa (3-for-4) and Weston Wilson (2-for-4, HR, 2 RBI) joining the onslaught, while even Harrison Bader—hitting just .100 entering the game—delivered a three-run homer to cap Philadelphia's 10-run explosion over the final three innings.
Baltimore's pitching unraveled after a competitive start, with Corbin Martin failing to record an out in the sixth while surrendering six runs on five hits, including three homers. The Orioles' lone bright spots came from Tyler O'Neill (a two-RBI homer) and Jordan Westburg (a solo shot), but their 15 strikeouts told the story of a lineup overmatched by Jesus Luzardo (7 K's in 6 innings) and Philadelphia's bullpen. The blowout victory keeps the Phillies' postseason push rolling, while the Orioles—once surging—now face questions about their pitching depth down the stretch.
