Phillies Handed Sweep by Turner's Five-Hit Performance and Schwarber's Powerful Hits versus Mariners
The Philadelphia Phillies are on a roll, having won their fourth game in a row after a dominating 3-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners. The series kicked off on Friday, with the Phillies securing an 11-2 victory.
The game started with a bang for the home team, as Trea Turner led off with a triple. Kyle Schwarber followed suit, homering and driving in five runs, setting the tone for the rest of the game. Max Kepler also contributed with three hits, including a homer, in the game.
Meanwhile, on the mound, Jesús Luzardo was a force to be reckoned with, striking out 12 batters in six innings. Cal Raleigh, on the other hand, struggled at the plate, going 0 for 4 in the game.
The Philadelphia Phillies' offense continued to shine, scoring 29 runs and compiling 48 hits in the series. Bryson Stott had three hits and two RBIs in the game, while Julio Rodríguez and Eugenio Suárez each hit solo homers for the Seattle Mariners.
In the final game of the series, José Alvarado made his first appearance for Philadelphia after serving an 80-game suspension. Alvarado received an ovation from the crowd and pitched a perfect eighth inning, striking out Cal Raleigh to end the inning.
As for the upcoming series, the Seattle Mariners return home to start a weekend series with the Athletics on Friday, while the Philadelphia Phillies will face the Washington Nationals. RHP Taijuan Walker (4-6, 3.34 ERA) goes for the Philadelphia Phillies in their series against Washington, with Mitchell Parker set to pitch for the Nationals. However, neither team has announced a starter for the series between Seattle and the Athletics.
This is the most hits the Philadelphia Phillies have had in a 3-game span since 2007, a testament to their current form. Kyle Schwarber's homer in the game brought his total to a National League-leading 45, further cementing his position as one of the league's top hitters.
The Philadelphia Phillies will be looking to continue their winning streak when they face the Washington Nationals, while the Seattle Mariners will look to bounce back against the Athletics.
