Phillies End Losing Streak with 5-0 Victory Over Orioles

BALTIMORE — The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Baltimore Orioles 5-0 at Camden Yards, ending a four-game losing streak. The victory was highlighted by a four-run eighth inning, where the Phillies sent nine players to the plate, scoring on three walks and three hits.

Bryan De La Cruz's RBI single in the fifth inning marked the first run for the Phillies. Cristopher Sánchez pitched six shutout innings, striking out 11 batters but allowing a career-high five walks. The bullpen, featuring Jonathan Bowlan, José Alvarado, and Jhoan Duran, maintained the shutout, marking the team's 13th of the season.

Interim manager Don Mattingly noted the game felt mostly clean, despite some challenges. Alec Bohm contributed with an RBI in the eighth, while Justin Crawford capped the inning with a two-RBI single. Bryson Stott had a notable 15-pitch at-bat, resulting in an infield hit, and has been a consistent performer recently. The Phillies aim to win their first series of the second half in the upcoming game against Kyle Bradish.
