Phillies Defeat Diamondbacks 3-2 in Close Contest

The Philadelphia Phillies secured a 3-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, marking their fifth win in six games and extending Kyle Schwarber's on-base streak to 38 games. Schwarber and Max Kepler hit crucial solo home runs in the seventh inning, overcoming Arizona's early lead and a strong start from Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly, who left the game due to injury after five efficient innings. The Phillies' bullpen held firm, with Tanner Banks earning the win in relief and Johan Rojas making a key defensive play to preserve the lead. Arizona's offense struggled to capitalize on opportunities, going 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position and leaving seven men on base. The Diamondbacks have now lost six of their last nine games, with their bullpen remaining a concern. Both teams are set to continue the series, with Arizona sending Brandon Pfaadt to the mound against Philadelphia's Aaron Nola.
