The Phillies opened the scoring against in the fourth inning on a sacrifice fly by after a single and walks to and loaded the bases. The bulk of the damage was inflicted in the bottom of the sixth inning when the entire lineup came to the dish and cashed in three RBI doubles by , Garcia and Alec Bohm. The Phillies would tack on two more in the bottom of the eighth after Marsh led off the inning with a single, stole second, and came home on a hit by Justin Crawford. Crawford scored two at-bats later on Turner’s fourth hit of the game.
