Nick Castellanos played a pivotal role in the Phillies' 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, hitting his 20th home run of the season and scoring the go-ahead run. The win helped the Phillies sweep the series and reduce their magic number to secure the National League East to nine. Castellanos' performance came after being hit by a pitch from Rays reliever Edwin Uceta, who was ejected for the action, leading to a fracas between the teams. Brandon Marsh also contributed significantly with a three-run homer, while Buddy Kennedy drew a crucial ninth-inning walk in a previous game, setting up a walk-off hit by Kody Clemens. The Phillies' bullpen and starter Zack Wheeler delivered stellar performances to secure the win. The Phillies are currently eight games ahead of the New York Mets in their division race.
