Kepler’s homer off Dylan Cease was his 10th of the season. This is actually just the sixth time all year that he’s driven in two runs in a game, and he’s never knocked in more than that. The Phillies were hoping from more from their free agent signing, but Kepler’s current .685 OPS is basically a match for what he did in 2022 and 2024, with 2023 standing out as his only really positive season in the last five years.

Sánchez is going to have to be an All-Star. He’s allowed exactly one run in his last three starts and hasn’t given up more than two runs in any of his last seven outings. This was also a fourth straight start in which he did not walk a single batter. He’s 7-2 with a 2.68 ERA and a 108/28 K/BB in 100 2/3 innings, and he’s slated to face the Giants next week.

The lead was one too many runs for a save, but it’s notable that the Phillies again lined up Orion Kerkering for the eighth and Strahm for the ninth tonight. Since Kerkering’s last save on June 19, he’s pitched the eighth in all four of his appearances. Strahm has pitched the ninth four times, plus one appearance in the eighth, and earned two saves.
