Sánchez deserved better, but his offense and bullpen clearly didn’t agree. He received just a single run of support, and Orion Kerkering gave up a pair of runs to waste this effort. Sánchez was able to strike out eight, and remains one of the best left-handers in the National League with a 2.59 ERA. He’ll start the final game of the first half for Philadelphia on Sunday against the Padres, and maybe Philadelphia will finally score some runs for him. The Phillies have gone just 4-3 in Sánchez’s last seven starts despite him allowing only nine runs in 48 innings over that span.

Schwarber was hit by a pitch to lead off the sixth and stole second before he was caught stealing third. He then gave the Phillies the lead in the seventh with a two-run blast off Spencer Bivens and added a double in the ninth. The 32-year-old slugger is up to 28 homers and nine steals while slashing .254/.384/.549 with 64 runs scored and 65 RBI across 406 plate appearances.

Romano recorded the final two outs in the eighth to preserve a two-run lead for the Phillies. He returned for the ninth and put two runners on with one out before Patrick Bailey launched a ball that caromed off the top of the wall in right-center as he raced home for an inside-the-park home run to walk it off. Romano hasn’t recorded a save since May 29, with Matt Strahm and Orion Kerkering mostly working in a committee for saves.

Walker rejoined the Phillies rotation on Tuesday, making his first start since May 30. He gave up a run in the second inning on a walk and two base hits, then tossed two more scoreless innings, ending his day with three strikeouts over four innings. The 32-year-old right-hander will take a 3.55 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and a 49/24 K/BB ratio across 58 1/3 innings (nine starts) into the All-Star break.
