J.T. Realmuto delivered the big blow, a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth as the Phillies toppled the Mariners 6-4. Kyle Schwarber opened Philadelphia’s scoring with his 44th homer, and Bryson Stott added his eighth as Bryce Harper contributed with a sacrifice fly. Realmuto reached base three times and drove in three runs, including an RBI single and a catcher’s interference that kept Philly’s offense humming. David Robertson earned the win in relief, while Jhoan Duran closed for his 22nd save. Seattle’s Cal Raleigh slugged his 47th homer and Eugenio Suárez added RBI doubles, but their four-game slide continued.

Bryce Miller was activated for Seattle and logged five innings, allowing four runs on five hits. Cal Raleigh’s power pace remains notable, with his HR total one shy of the catcher-season record. Cristopher Sánchez struck out a dozen in 6 1/3 for Philadelphia, tying a career high. The Mariners got RBI doubles from Randy Arozarena and Suárez, and Seattle’s offense showed flashes, even as the night ended with Philly’s third straight win. Up next, Luis Castillo faces Jesus Luzardo in a matchup that should favor Philly’s lefty-heavy approach.

Realmuto’s performance stands out not only for the bat but for timing, giving Philadelphia a critical cushion in a tight NL race. The Phillies’ ability to win with timely hits, plus their bullpen hold from Robertson and the closing save by Duran, underscores their depth entering the stretch run. Seattle, meanwhile, will lean on continued power from Raleigh and a sharper pitching plan from Miller as they look to snap the skid.
