The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates with a final score of 5-1 at Citizens Bank Park, highlighted by home runs from Alec Bohm, Brandon Marsh, and Bryson Stott. Bohm's home run was particularly significant as it ended the Phillies' streak of 91 consecutive plate appearances without an extra-base hit, the longest since a 94 PA streak from June 18-June 22, 2022. The team homered three times, and Ranger Suárez contributed with six scoreless innings in a game where it barely rained. Brandon Marsh's performance was noteworthy, driving in the tie-breaking run in a previous 4-3 victory over the Pirates and hitting safely in all but one of his nine starts. The Phillies' record improved to 7-6 following this victory.
