First Inning


The game began with both teams struggling to find their rhythm offensively. The Twins managed only one hit in their first inning while keeping the Phillies hitless. This set the tone for what would be a low-scoring affair dominated by strong pitching performances from both sides.


Sixth Inning


In an otherwise quiet game for hitters, it was during this inning that Ryan Jeffers made his mark for the Twinkies by driving in their only run of the match. His performance was one of few highlights on offense as he continued his impressive form from previous games where he boasted an average of .750 and an OPS of 1.8.

Eighth Inning


The Phils finally broke through in this inning when they scored their first run to tie up proceedings. Despite being limited to just three hits throughout nine innings by stellar pitching from Simeon Woods Richardson and others, Philadelphia capitalized on opportunities when it mattered most.


Tenth Inning


As tensions rose into extra innings, it was ultimately Bryce Harper's decisive play that secured victory for Philadelphia during their half of this frame—highlighting why he's considered one among baseball's elite talents today.
