Brandon Marsh went 4-for-4 with a steal in the Phillies’ 3-2 win over the Padres on Tuesday.

Just one of Marsh’s singles was hard hit, but three were line drives to the outfield and the softest hit of the bunch got past Gavin Sheets at first base. Marsh is batting an incredible .332 this year. He entered 2026 with a career mark of .261 and a high of .280 from last season. He’s not actually hitting the ball any harder than usual, but it does help that he’s cut his strikeout rate. He’s currently at 22 percent, down from 26 percent last year and 33 percent from 2021-24.
