Fourth Inning


As the game progressed, both teams displayed solid defensive plays. The fourth inning saw a shift in momentum when the Phillies managed to score their first run of the game. Despite this, Texas maintained its composure and continued to hold onto its lead with strong pitching from Patrick Corbin.


Fifth Inning


The fifth inning marked a pivotal moment in this matchup. The Phillies turned up their offensive pressure, scoring 2 more runs to take a narrow lead over Texas. This surge was fueled by timely hitting that challenged Rangers' defense and pitching staff.


Ninth Inning


Heading into the ninth inning with a slim margin separating both teams, Philadelphia added another run to secure their victory over Texas with a final score of 4-2. Despite valiant efforts from players like Rowdy Tellez who maintained an impressive batting average of .500 throughout his appearances, it wasn't enough for Texas to reclaim control.


In terms of individual performances during this clash between these two teams: Joc Pederson stood out for his perfect batting average and contribution of 1 home run along with driving in both runs scored by his team earlier on; meanwhile Robert Garcia showcased excellent relief pitching skills without allowing any walks or earned runs during his time on mound duty.
