Phillies Shut Out Guardians 8-0 Behind Phillips

Phillies rookie pitcher Tyler Phillips delivered a remarkable performance, throwing a four-hit shutout in an 8-0 victory over the Cleveland Guardians in his third big-league start. Phillips, a South Jersey native and lifelong Phillies fan, struck out four, walked one, and threw 105 pitches over nine scoreless innings. The game saw a massive offensive outburst from the Phillies, with Bryce Harper, Brandon Marsh, Kyle Schwarber, and Nick Castellanos all hitting home runs. The victory was bolstered by strong defensive plays, including three double plays and a diving catch by Harper. Additionally, new acquisition Austin Hays earned a standing ovation in his debut and contributed with a single. This win provided a much-needed boost for the Phillies, who have struggled since the All-Star break.
