PHILADELPHIA — The Phillies made it five straight wins with an 8-2 victory over the Royals, highlighted by Walker Buehler’s debut in a Phillies uniform. Buehler looked sharp, going 5 innings while allowing just 1 run on 5 hits and striking out 3.
The offense stayed hot, piling up 14 hits. Harrison Bader had another solid night with 2 hits, and Bryce Harper launched his 26th home run of the season.
With the postseason approaching, the Phillies are catching fire at the perfect time — riding a five-game win streak and firing on all cylinders.
