After scoring 26 runs in their final three games against the Mets this week, the Phillies put together another strong offensive performance on Friday night at Citizens Bank Park, defeating the Royals, 8-2.<\/p>\n

Six Phillies \u2014 Harrison Bader, Bryce Harper, Otto Kemp, Max Kepler, Bryson Stott and Rafael March\u00e1n \u2014 put together multi-hit performances. The Phillies scored their eight runs on 14 hits. <\/p>\n

Bader\u2019s 2-for-5 night gave him his fifth consecutive game with multiple hits. It was his sixth multi-hit game this month. Bader now has a .342 batting average and .945 OPS with the Phillies.<\/p>\n

March\u00e1n put the Phillies on the board in the bottom of the second inning with a sacrifice fly, tying the game at one. They took the lead and didn\u2019t look back an inning later.<\/p>\n

Harper sent a 1-0 sinker from Royals starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen into the left-center field seats for a go-ahead, two-run home run in the bottom of the third. It was Harper\u2019s 26th home run of the season.<\/p>\n

\n

Kemp padded the lead later in the third with an RBI single. Kemp\u2019s been hot since rejoining the Phillies earlier this week; he\u2019s 7-for-17 with six RBIs.<\/p>\n

The Phillies added on thanks to three straight doubles to start the bottom of the fourth. March\u00e1n led off the inning, and Bader drove him home one batter later. Kyle Schwarber hit the third of the three doubles, extending the Phillies\u2019 lead to 6-1. They scored their last two runs on a two-run jack by Stott in the bottom of the seventh.<\/p>\n

\n

On the mound, Walker Buehler picked up the win. The veteran right-hander went five innings in his Phillies debut. Buehler allowed one run on five hits. He struck out three batters and walked one.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s win was the Phillies\u2019 27th since the start of August, the most in the majors. They\u2019re now 88-60 on the year and continue to inch closer to securing their second straight NL East title.<\/p>\n
