Phillies' Performance

On the other side of the diamond, Philadelphia struggled defensively but had moments where they shone offensively. Their most productive inning came in the fourth when they exploded for six runs on six hits without committing any errors. This offensive burst temporarily put them ahead before Chicago regained control later in the game.

Philadelphia’s pitching staff faced challenges throughout as well; however, there were bright spots such as Brad Keller who maintained an impressive ERA of 0.0 across his appearances while striking out batters at an exceptional rate (18 strikeouts per nine innings). Despite these efforts from individual players like Keller or Daniel Palencia (ERA: 0), collectively it wasn't enough against Chicago’s determined lineup.
