Zack Wheeler, the starting pitcher for the Phillies, pitched six innings and gave up two earned runs on seven hits while striking out ten. Max Lazar (1-0), Matt Strahm, Orion Kerkering, and Tanner Banks all pitched scoreless innings. It was Lazar’s first big league victory.
In the fourth inning, the Phillies scored twice. Nick Castellanos advanced to second on a passed ball, doubled, and then scored on a single by J.T. Realmuto after Bryce Harper doubled.
Jarren Duran opened the game with his sixth Boston home run of the year. Trevor Story’s RBI single in the sixth inning tied the score at two.
Walker Buehler of Boston pitched seven innings, giving up two earned runs and six hits.
Key moment
In the tenth inning, Hicks tossed ten pitches without recording an out. Otto Kemp was attempting to bunt Marsh to third when he was walked. The Red Sox purposefully walked to face Sosa, and Marsh and Kemp advanced on a wild pitch to Max Kepler.
Key stat
In his past eight games, Bryce Harper has amassed 14 hits and 13 extra-base hits, including four home runs and nine doubles. In his last 25 games, he had only seven extra-base hits.
