First Inning


The Phillies set the tone early in the first inning with an explosive start. They racked up three runs on four hits, showcasing their offensive depth. Nick Castellanos contributed significantly with his consistent batting performance. Meanwhile, Bryce Harper's presence was felt as he added to his RBI tally for the season. The Rockies struggled to respond initially and were unable to score any runs in their opening frame.


Middle Innings


As the game progressed into the middle innings, both teams settled into a rhythm defensively. The second inning saw no scoring from either side as pitchers began to find their groove. For Philadelphia, Jesús Luzardo was particularly effective on the mound during this stretch; his pitching stats included an impressive ERA of 1.5 and a WHIP of 0.8333 from previous performances.

In contrast, Colorado managed only one run in the fourth inning thanks to some timely hitting but remained largely contained by Luzardo's skillful pitching.


Seventh Inning


The seventh inning proved pivotal for Philadelphia as they extended their lead significantly by adding three more runs on four hits despite committing one error during this period—a testament to their resilience and ability to capitalize when it mattered most.

Colorado attempted a comeback effort late into proceedings but could only muster two additional runs across both seventh and ninth innings combined—falling short against Philly’s formidable defense led by standout plays from Alec Bohm whose fielding percentage stood perfect throughout recent games played prior today’s matchup here at Denver’s iconic ballpark venue known affectionately among locals simply “Coors.”
