Phillies News

The Phillies showcased their potential with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves, thanks to Jesús Luzardo's dazzling complete game shutout, marking a career first for him. Luzardo has been phenomenal, establishing himself as one of the top pitchers in baseball over the past month, and his ace-level performance has raised serious questions about the playoff rotation. Meanwhile, Kyle Schwarber electrified the crowd with a moonshot that proved pivotal in the win, lighting a fire under a team that has shown resilience this season. Despite the encouraging signs, questions linger about Alec Bohm’s future with the team, as his recent uptick in performance shouldn't blind the front office to potential upgrades. With a current record of 80-63 and a solid split against the Braves, the Phils are in a warm spot, but consistency will be key as they push toward the postseason.

Phillies shouldn’t be tricked into running it back with Alec Bohm, even after latest checkpoint

Alec Bohm showed some resilience in dragging his season-long OPS back up to .700 on Friday night, but that shouldn’t trick the Phils into running it back with him in 2027.
