Luzardo was the third straight lefty starter, the upheaval of Wheeler having a start delayed and then Aaron Nola’s return lining up the southpaws. That’s not manager Rob Thomson’s preference. But in this odd series where all three got to face the same team, it worked beautifully.

The Philadelphia Phillies are starting to make a name for themselves in one of the rarest ways a team can benefit in Major League Baseball. For the third time in less than a month, they were awarded first base after a catcher’s interference call, a play that almost never shows up in box scores.

Realmuto launched a two-run homer in the eighth inning Tuesday, snapping a 4-4 tie and providing the winning runs as the Phillies captured the series. All that remained after the homer was for closer Jhoan Duran to enter to his anticipated light show and blow away the Mariners with a 102-mph fastball and 100-mph splinker.

NBC Sports Philadelphia missed an opportunity to show Jhoan Duran's full walk-on at Citizens Bank Park Tuesday night.

Phillies closer Jhoan Duran showed off his might against AL MVP candidate Cal Raleigh, striking him out in three straight pitches.

Phillies score five runs in the bottom of the 7th inning, including an RBI single from Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, and Bryson Stott

The Philadelphia Phillies will face a decision on Kyle Schwarber in free agency, but he is not the only superstar Phillies player hitting the open market.

Castellanos sat for the third time in 11 days. Rob Thomson said he doesn’t know if this rotation will be long term, and it will depend on who is heating up.
