The Philadelphia Phillies struggled in their recent matchups, losing to the Cleveland Guardians 3-1 despite Weston Wilson hitting his first home run of the season. The Phillies have lost seven of their last ten games, displaying sloppy defense that included multiple errors and botched rundowns. The team is hoping for a boost with the acquisition of outfielder Austin Hays from the Baltimore Orioles. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Royals surpassed their previous season's win total, securing their 57th victory with a 6-0 win over the Chicago Cubs, thanks to a strong performance by Brady Singer. Additionally, the Detroit Tigers defeated the Guardians 3-0 with Javier Báez hitting a three-run homer, highlighting Cleveland's recent offensive struggles.
