Phillies Defeat Royals 11-3 in Kansas City

The Philadelphia Phillies secured an 11-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, with Kyle Schwarber leading the charge with two hits and three RBIs, and Garrett Stubbs achieving a career-best four hits. After a slow start to the week, the win marked the Phillies' third series victory since the All-Star break, improving their record to 6-4 in the last 10 games. The team showcased a powerful offense, scoring a total of 26 runs over the three-game series and hitting 45 times against the Royals. Kolby Allard, recalled from Triple-A, pitched five innings allowing two runs, while Royals pitcher Seth Lugo struggled, giving up six runs on 11 hits. The Phillies demonstrated resilience, bouncing back from a lackluster performance against the Braves, and are now positioned six games ahead in the NL East after a Braves loss. This momentum comes as they face a challenging stretch against playoff-contending teams.
