Phillies Dominate Mariners with 11-2 Victory to Complete Sweep

The Philadelphia Phillies put on an offensive show, defeating the Seattle Mariners 11-2 to sweep their three-game series at Citizens Bank Park. Trea Turner led the charge with five hits and two RBI, extending his impressive hitting streak and keeping the Phillies' momentum strong.

Turner's Hitting Streak Continues

Trea Turner continued his hot streak at the plate, recording his sixth multi-hit game in his last seven outings. He opened the game with a triple and added four singles throughout the afternoon, playing a pivotal role in the Phillies' offensive explosion.

Schwarber Powers the Offense

Kyle Schwarber showed his power with his league-leading 45th home run. He finished the game with five RBI, collecting an RBI double, a run-scoring single, and a sacrifice fly. Schwarber's major league-best 110 RBI also marked a new career high.

Supporting Cast Steps Up

Max Kepler contributed three hits, including a home run, and Bryson Stott tallied three hits with two RBI, ensuring the Phillies offense stayed relentless throughout the game. The Phillies have now won four straight games.

Strong Pitching Closes the Door

Jesús Luzardo put together a dominant performance on the mound, striking out 12 batters over six innings while allowing only one run on three hits.

Mariners' Struggles Continue

Julio Rodríguez and Eugenio Suárez provided the Mariners’ only offense with solo home runs. Seattle has now lost five straight games and seven of their last eight. Luis Castillo surrendered three runs on 10 hits in four innings and took the loss.

Major league home run leader Cal Raleigh went hitless in four at-bats, remaining at 47 homers—one shy of the all-time single-season catcher's record.

Key Moment

José Alvarado made his first appearance for the Phillies following an 80-game suspension for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy. He was greeted by an ovation from the home crowd and delivered a perfect eighth inning, finishing it with a strikeout of Raleigh.

Key Stat

The Phillies’ offense exploded for 29 runs and 48 hits during the three-game sweep—marking their highest hit total over a three-game span since 2007.
