The Philadelphia Phillies unleashed a relentless offensive barrage Friday night, crushing the Texas Rangers 9-1 in a statement victory that showcased both their firepower and pitching depth. Trea Turner set the tone early with a 4-RBI explosion—including a towering three-run homer in the third—that broke the game open, while Brandon Marsh continued his red-hot stretch with a 4-hit performance, falling a triple shy of the cycle. Cristopher Sánchez dominated on the mound, carving through Texas's lineup with six strikeouts over six sharp innings, allowing just one run on Corey Seager's RBI single. The Phillies' bats never let up, capitalizing on Rangers' pitching miscues with five runs in the final two frames, including a two-run single from Bryson Stott that punctuated the rout.

For Texas, it was a night to forget as starter Merrill Kelly labored through 4⅓ innings, surrendering four runs while walking five batters—a rare bright spot came from Seager's multi-hit effort, but it wasn't nearly enough against Philadelphia's balanced attack. The loss drops the Rangers further back in the playoff hunt, while the Phillies, riding high on their third straight win, send a clear message: their lineup is clicking at the perfect time, with contributions coming from every corner of the order.
