The two sides remained stalemate until eight times. The Phillies' first two batters were out, but they immediately scored three consecutive hits, coupled with a pass error by center fielder Garrett Mitchell, allowing the team to regain the lead. Then Marsh's RBI double hit and scored an insurance run. Although the closer Jhoan Duran gave up one run in the next half of the inning, they still managed to win the game.

As for the pitcher, Phillies starter Zack Wheeler pitched 5.2 innings and allowed 3 runs, striking out 11 times and walking 1. He also reached the milestone of striking out 2,000 times in his major league career, becoming the 96th player in history. The winning shot was taken by José Alvarado who was on the board eight times and had one kill, while the losing shot was taken by Colton Gordon.

After the Phillies won the victory, their record rose to 87 wins and 70 losses, widening the gap with the Diamondbacks, who are fourth in the National League wild card. The magic number to advance to the playoffs has reached "M2". If they win again against the Brewers tomorrow and the Diamondbacks lose to the Rockies, the magic number can be reset to zero.

With 98 wins and 59 losses, the Brewers are still the strongest team in the major leagues. They have also won the National League Central Division title. They are only 2 wins away from achieving 100 wins in a single season for the first time in team history. If they want to achieve the record, they must complete the remaining 5 regular season games.
