Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images<\/p>\n Bill Streicher<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The hits just keep on coming.<\/p>\n In Friday night’s win over the Kansas City Royals, the Phillies’ offense bestowed a great gift upon Walker Buehler: run support.<\/p>\n Although he had traffic on the bases in four of his five innings pitched, Walker Buehler had a solid Phillies debut. His lone run allowed came via a Maikel Garcia RBI single in the top of the first inning.<\/p>\n The Phillies tied the game in the bottom of the second, thanks to Rafael March\u00e1n’s sacrifice fly with the bases loaded:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rafael March\u00e1n ties the game at 1-1 with a bases-loaded sac fly!<\/p>\n (via @aokstott<\/a>)pic.twitter.com\/3iHQNzWVTE<\/a><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The offense picked up in the bottom of the third. Bryce Harper gave the Phils their first lead of the evening with a two-run opposite-field home run:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n His Royal Harp-ness\ud83d\udc51pic.twitter.com\/d6tlbWBuOx<\/a><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Then, before the Royals registered an out, Brandon Marsh tripled and Otto Kemp brought him home:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kemp-ing it real\ud83d\udcafpic.twitter.com\/5imy5Aj72G<\/a><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n And it didn’t stop there. Three straight doubles by March\u00e1n, Harrison Bader and Kyle Schwarber in the bottom of the fourth knocked in two more runs:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Harrison Bader is on FIRE\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udcde<\/p>\n (via @aokstott<\/a>)pic.twitter.com\/cdo7YAaE6t<\/a><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kyle Schwarber schwlides into second\ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n (via @aokstott<\/a>)pic.twitter.com\/sCnXAuD9lc<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 On Pattison (@OnPattison) September 13, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Those consecutive doubles chased Royals starter and former Phillie Michael Lorenzen out of the game after giving up six runs.<\/p>\n Bader’s RBI double marked his tenth multi-hit game as a Phillie, and his sixth multi-hit game in September alone.<\/p>\n Buehler left the game after five innings pitched, in which he allowed five hits and one run while striking out three, walking one and hitting one batter.<\/p>\n Bobby Witt Jr.’s RBI groundout cut the Phillies’ lead down to 6-2 in the top of the seventh. However, Bryson Stott answered quickly in the bottom of the seventh, matching his home run total from 2024 and setting a career high with 63 RBIs:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bryson Stott with a no-doubter! \ud83d\udca3<\/p>\n
