The Phillies secured a 6-4 victory over the Giants, highlighted by a five-run first inning and Cristopher Sanchez’s career-high 12 strikeouts over seven innings. Despite a shaky start, Sanchez, who allowed three runs (two earned) and one walk, effectively utilized his changeup to dominate the Giants’ lineup. Philadelphia improved to 11-8 overall, while Nick Castellanos left the game with hip tightness and Brandon Marsh sat out with a knee strain; both are expected to return soon.
