Though it was the Pirates fielding two teams today, the Phillies had the weaker lineup posted today, bringing none of their likely regulars to Bradenton. Nevertheless, they pulled this one out with a nine-spot in the fourth and then four runs in the ninth to break a 10-10 tie. Marchán improved to 4-for-16 for the spring. Though the Phillies are making some odd noises about carrying Garrett Stubbs as a utilityman, Marchán appears to be locked in as the primary backup to J.T. Realmuto for the second straight year.

It’s a split contract for Marchán, who will serve as organizational depth for the Phillies with J.T. Realmuto hitting free agency this offseason. The 26-year-old backstop got into a career-high 42 games this past season, batting .210/.282/.305 with two homers and 13 RBI.

Marchán had the Phillies first hit of the game in the sixth inning and scored the first run on a double by Bryce Harper. He later delivered a go-ahead, three-run blast off Blake Treinen in the ninth that would power the Phillies to victory. The 26-year-old backstop has hit two homers with 13 RBI while hitting .206/.284/.309 across 110 plate appearances.

Marchán, who has spent the whole season backing up J.T. Realmuto, had three RBI in a 3-1 win today, had three RBI in a 5-4 defeat of the Braves on May 29 and has three RBI in the rest of his appearances combined. He’s batting .183/.280/.256 in 33 games.

The last RBi for Marchan came after he was plunked in the foot with the bases loaded in the eighth inning, and it gave Philadelphia their 5-4 lead and ultimately a win. The 26-year-old also swatted a two-run homer — his first of 2025 — and he threw out Ozzie Albies in the ninth inning after Albies attempted to steal second. A very nice day for Marchan to be sure, but he’s still slashing an ugly .152/.317/.242 as J.T. Realmuto’s backup backstop.
