First Inning

The game began with both teams unable to score in the first inning. The Phillies' starting pitcher, Cristopher Sánchez, managed to keep the South Siders at bay with effective pitching that saw him maintain an earned run average of 5.4 and a WHIP of 1.2 over his innings pitched.

Third Inning

The third inning was pivotal for both teams. The Fightin' Phils took an early lead when Bryce Harper delivered two crucial RBIs, capitalizing on opportunities created by Brandon Marsh's consistent hitting performance—Marsh ended with an impressive .500 batting average for this game. However, this momentum was short-lived as the South Siders responded immediately with two runs of their own.

Fourth Inning

In the fourth inning, Chicago continued their offensive push by adding another pair of runs against Sánchez and his bullpen support. Despite Seth Johnson's efforts from relief pitching—where he maintained a K/9 rate of 9—the Phils struggled defensively and allowed further scoring opportunities for their opponents.

Eighth Inning

As tensions rose in later innings, particularly during the eighth inning where errors became costly for Philadelphia's defense leading to additional runs scored by Chicago’s lineup which included timely hits from key players like Eloy Jiménez who contributed significantly throughout this matchup.

Despite some strong individual performances such as Bryson Stott’s .333 batting average and Max Kepler’s solid fielding percentage (1.0), these were not enough collectively against a determined White Sox squad that capitalized on every opportunity presented during critical moments within each frame played out under night skies above Illinois’ iconic ballpark setting here tonight!
