Nine wins in a row! The Phillies continued their undefeated streak in an 11-game battle

While Max Kepler was preparing to substitute with Brandon Marsh in seven innings, the Phillies were trailing 4-5. Kepler whispered to his teammates: "This is an opportunity to turn the tide of the game." This sentence became the perfect prediction for the night on Sutter's Health Park Stadium - the two tied the game with nine games and a bye double in ten games, respectively, to help the Phillies win 9-6 after 3 hours and 45 minutes of fierce battle, and won nine straight games (the first time in team history since June 2022).

Nine-inning, Kepler blasted the ball up the right field grass slope in the face of a 101.4-mile speedball from athletic finisher Mason Miller. "Miller's ball prowess is terrifying," exclaimed head coach Rob Thomson, "and Kepler's raid was crucial. It was the second night in a row that the Phillies had beaten the top bullpen pitcher. In a desperate situation where no one was out at home in the 10th inning, Marsh caught Brent Rooker's flyball in the shallow area of the field and laser the ball at 94.9mph to home plate. Realmuto) touched Logan Davidson to complete the double kill. After the video review was confirmed, the audience boiled.

In the eleventh inning, Kyle Schwarber swept away a leading second base hit (tied for the top spot in the major leagues for his 18th run of the season) to tie the score at 9-6. Then, 24-year-old rookie Max Lazar came out on the pitch in the 15.2nd inning of his major league career, striking out Davidson for his first career rescue and extending the Athletics' losing streak to 11 games. "Everybody stepped up in crunch time," Marsh concluded, "like 'The Laser' [Lazar's nickname] dominating performance tonight. The midfielder was aptly described — by the time Lazar tackled the last three hitters, he was the only player left in the Phillies Cattle Barn.

The Phillies fell behind twice in this campaign, but they never lost an inch. In the sixth inning, Schwaber's spring cannon sounded the horn of counterattack, and in the eleventh inning, he hit the line and set off a three-point offensive. "We always deliver the fatal blow when it counts," Schwaber said. Thomson praised the resilience of the team: "This win showed the quality of the dressing room. As the Athletics hit full bases in the 10th inning, the broadcast camera captured the Phillies unusually calm in the rest area. "We're used to this kind of high-pressure situation," explained three-game bullpen pitcher Orion Kerkering. This calmness comes from the depth of the lineup—Kepler's decisive swing, Marsh's precision guidance, Schwaber's heavy artillery output, and Lazar's imminent order—all weave the undefeated legend of the Phillies undefeated.
