Phillies dugout has hilarious reaction to rat sighting

As far as the game was concerned, Chicago took control in the fifth innings when Jesus Luzardo exited after 4 2/3 innings (one run allowed, five hits, four walks). Reliever Orion Kerkering issued a bases-loaded walk to Moises Ballesteros, opening the scoring at 1-0.

Michael Busch delivered a two-run single with the bases loaded to make it 3-1, while Nico Hoerner added a solo home run in the seventh. Shortly after, Seiya Suzuki hit his first home run of the season, a 441-foot shot, which extended the lead to 6-1. Philadelphia’s offense struggled to get going.

Kyle Schwarber tied the game briefly in the sixth with his eighth home run of the season, a 386-foot drive, and Bryce Harper added a two-run homer in the eighth to cut the deficit to three. However, the Phillies managed just three hits through the first seven innings.

After Luzardo’s departure, Philadelphia relievers allowed six runs across the final innings, including a costly wild pitch by Jose Alvarado that accounted for Chicago’s seventh run. In contrast, Caleb Thielbar recorded the final two outs for his second save.

The Phillies’ late push was sparked by Adolis García’s single, an error by Scott Kingery, and an RBI sacrifice fly from Alec Bohm.
