Phillies vs. A's Game Highlights (5/24/25) | MLB Highlights

The man taking the mound for the A's is Jeffrey Springs. He's been racking up quality starts and Trey Turner will lead it off for the Phillies against Jeffrey Springs the three to pitch misses on the outside corner so Turner will draw a leadoff walk. Bryce Harper now up snapped his seven game hitting streak after an 0 for three performance last night. There goes Turner pitch take it for a strike throw to second no chance. So that's his 14 stolen base ground ball right side and it goes right past Urias and Turner's going to score. Harper did his job just with two strikes on the ball to the right side to advance turn to third with less than two outs and he gets the bonus with the error to Arias just flat out booted it feels to take it. Yeah forty first run in the first inning this year for the Phillies and now Schwartz up with Harper over at first and he pops it up a mile high and a shallow right Urias in the sun and he makes the catch back pedaling. Here's Castellanos Castellanos lines one out toward right center field on the run as Clark he's not going to get it it's going to go to the wall Harper speeding around third they're waving him home and Castellanos will pull in a second base with an RBI double and the Phil's lead to nothing. It's a great swing by Castellanos and a great read by Bryce Harper drives his ball out past Clark and center field cutter there. He just goes with it. The RBI for Castellanos is twenty eighth of the year. Thirteen doubles for Nick and now J.T. But he'll strike out rail Muto strikeout for Jeffrey Springs and two are gone able to get real Muto to fish down and expand Alec Bohm on a five game hitting streak one to a swing and a miss and Springs strikes out to Christopher Sanchez starts the bottom of the first inning. That's his second start on this road trip hitting three thirty five is Jacob Wilson. Some folks say that he's the odds on the rookie of the year favorite right now three one that's line fair down the third baseline that'll tuck into the corner Wilson rounds first he's into second and the ball is determined to be lodged underneath the wall. So a double for Wilson and that's how we'll start off the bottom of the first probably a little more of the plate than he wanted. J.Willy is able to turn and burn him in third in the American League and batting average third and hits this having tremendous year. So here's Rooker in the two to pitch strike three called got him looking and maybe a generous call there for Sanchez to work with on the inside part of the plate and Rooker a strikeout first of the game. Tyler Soderstrom stands in from the left side. He hits her back toward the middle. Turner is there though and he makes the play runner goes over to third unqualified A's hitters Shalong Lears has hit the best against lefties for thirty eight swing and a miss. He did go back to the change up and he got him second strikeout on Duhar leads it off against Christopher Sanchez and the one pitch and that's a shot up the middle back a second in the center past the diving second baseman Scott and the A's have a start in the bottom of the second. Now an 11 game hitting streak he's just finding more and more ways to get on base. But he has now and ball for only the 18th walk given up by Sanchez this year and that's at 50 in the third innings. Max Schumann the batter and he dribbles one left side picked up by Sanchez throws to first in time. It does move the runners up to second and third. Here is Nick Kurtz who hit the big home run in the ninth inning last night. Well that kicks away coming home is on Duhar and Kurtz won't need to put it in play this time around. The A's are on the board. It's two to one so probably go wild pitch. See Sanchez just ends up jerking a change up that Muto can't kick out and get around of and do our scores easily. Ball for second walk in the inning. I'm not trying to make excuses but I wonder if this mound has anything to do with his command right now. Zach Wither not happy at all about the mound last night. We saw his command being affected. He said it was rock hard out there. It is a little harder because they have to maintain the integrity of the mound because there's been so many games played here. Kurtz doesn't go from first pitch is cut on and missed. He went right back to that change up such a good weapon for him. Third strikeout. Now it's going to be up to Jacob Wilson here with two outs O2 and Wilson hits it the other way. How many times have we seen that two to two. This is a guy who has no problem shooting the ball the other way. I mean you can wake him up in December and get him to go five for five through the right side. It feels like he knows if it's up and out over the plate. My job is to shoot it to the right side and he does that. Cash it in all for three walks in the inning. It's just not very Christopher Sanchez like a fourth time this year that he's walked three in a game. So now the bases are loaded and Soderstrom is the batter. Here's the three two and a strike three called on the outside corner. Ninety five. He made the pitch when he needed Springs gave up two runs. He's responded with two runs of their own in the bottom of the second. It's been that way since here is Alec Bohm and a high fly ball out to left field Soderstrom's going back to the wall. It's gone. The auxiliary scoreboard for Alec Bohm his fourth home run of the year and the Phillies retake the lead three to two. Look to me like Alec was sitting on that one. He got it and goes bridge to left field. That's one he could handle that had hit me written all over it. First one of the year he has pulled three one that's cracked to left and a dive by Soderstrom. He caught that baseball. How about it. That's left fielder Tyler Soderstrom to you. Oh and a play by Soderstrom in left field and the inning is over. Oh is he good out there. Nick Kurtz will be the head of the lead off the fourth to two. And that's weekly tapped back to the pitcher Sanchez gathers quickly throw the first and Harper has to move off the bag to catch the baseball. Look at the big man Rumble off the line and they have a lead off base runner Jacob Wilson who's already got two hits bouncer to third Bohm throws off balance to second. They get one and they get to what a pick by Harper what a turn by Scott five four three double play the second one of the game for the Philz one away Soderstrom is up that's bounced up the first base line Harper comes in Harper applies the tag and Soderstrom is out at first base as he tried to dive past just enough steam for Bryce to get there and apply the tag or hit any slower and Harpe's not going to have a chance. All right so two away here's a swing and a hot shot to short Turner can't handle the back hand. It'll go by him on a hop and Langeleer is a board six Langley is breaking for second Riel Mutos throw down and she dives in safely. Speed Demon Shea Langeleer's Duhar had a base hit as two of them tonight. Good lead for Langley is off second one to defense. Rob Thompson setting out that could be it. So the Phillies will go to the bullpen. It's a very early exit for Christopher Sanchez. Eighty three pitches six inning. It's a three three game as Kyle Schwab leading off for the Philz and a high fly ball a deep right field. Forget about it. It's going to be on to the berm and then it kicks into the bullpen. So a home run for Schwab or the Phillies retake the lead his eighteenth of the year. And man did he make this place seem small. Three hits on the road trip. All three have been homers. Well that's the first home run that Springs has given up to a left hander this year. Just one arms it out to right field as we've seen him do on a number of times throughout the season. There's some kind of strong in there. Lawrence Butler is pinch hitting for the athletics three to driven the left center in a way to start the bottom of the six the pinch hit double for Lawrence Butler. And guess who's coming up. So here's Nick Kurtz to two driven in the right center field that is D.W. And you want to talk about rising to the occasion. Nick Kurtz is about that action Wilson two for three. Now Wilson ground ball deep in the hole short and it's misplayed by Turner. He hit it to the one spot where it was going to be a lot of trouble and Turner couldn't handle it first and second one out. That's going to be it for Ruiz as Carlos Hernandez will come into this ballgame. So a pitching change for the Phillies two runners on with one run out in a four four game Rios off for pitch walk and the bases are loaded for Soderstrom. Popped up with a J.T. back toward the screen. It's coming back to him. There's a lot of room and he can't make the catch. That never happens. It just doesn't happen with J.T. Again a lot of room behind home plate and the way the wind blows everything. You can't give up on anything. You've been given another opportunity right now to make this hurt. This pitch line drive rocket in the right field. The Eilers Soderstrom capitalizes on the real Muto error and it's five to four green and gold. We're starting to see it. They're starting to take advantage of these mistakes here. The mistakes are coming in bunches. And right now they are just passing the baton infield in for Langley's out towards second Scott Scott. And he runs to the second base back for one over to first in time. Third double play of the night. So Sterner gets the call here for the athletics against Bryce Harper. Twenty fifth appearance he's only allowed runs in one of his appearances. Here's Harper runner on third two outs Marsh the runner at third and a line drive base in it to center field that'll tie the game up at five. It's only the fourth hit a left hander has against Sterner this year. It's a five five game Mr. Hotel California Brent Rooker hopefully like the Eagles. This ball can soar out of the ballpark to two. Drive in the left center field this Ross and the A's lead six to five. That's what you need. That is absolutely what you needed if you were the athletics right now. The Phillies have won eight in a row. The athletics have lost ten in a row. The A's lead it six to five as we go to the top of the ninth inning. And Mason Miller is into the ballgame. This is his 18th game of the year pitched last night and the Phillies scored three runs against him. And now Kepler who was hit by a pitching is only at bat and a high fly ball to deep right field. And he has just tied this game up off the Ruebler has tied it up at six here at the top of the ninth inning and the Phillies do it again against Mason Miller. No doubt or what a swing that was. We got a new ballgame one to fastball. Got him. Kepler hits a home run ties the game at six to six but the A's have a chance to win in the bottom of the ninth. The new Phillies pitcher. Left hander Tanner Banks last night got his first save of the season and a breaking ball in there for a strike three call stellar ninth inning Banks with a one two three bottom of the ninth. Here's Scott real Muto at first Castellanos at second to the shortstop side diving stop by Wilson. He has no play but he just saved a run. That was a tremendous play by Jacob Wilson. The bases will be loaded. It'll be an infield hit for Bryson Scott to two. He got him stuck with a fastball frozen on the outside edge one one driven high to center field Butler moving over still going and he's got it home and holds down the fourth despite some traffic. We go to the bottom of the ten Nick Kurtz to be the courtesy runner. The hitter is C.J. Alexander a chance to be the hero here Alexander little floater into shallow right Castellanos coming on it drops down. And Kurtz will move to third. And unfortunately the Grimace that looks like it's going to be a hit flexor. We have got a pinch runner now and a major league debut Logan Davidson. He will pinch run. They will intentionally walk Wilson and the bases will be loaded for Rooker swing and a fly ball center field Marshall get under. It's not that deep tagging a third as Davidson. He's coming home the throw to the plate on one hop. He is out and harsh to double play and the Phillies get out of the ten one away and still runners at first and second. Here's Schwerber. There's a light drive down the right field line. That's going to be in for a base hit. It's a one hop off the wall and kicks away from Alexander one runners in. Here comes Turner heading home the throw by Arias not in time and Schwerber will be out at third base. And now they're saying interference at second base and they are awarding Kyle Schwerber third base. Yeah Kyle Schwerber ran into Davidson in between first and second. That's the call the obstruction Logan Davidson in at first base for the first time in his big league career kind of watching things unfold. And Kyle Schwerber very instinctually draws contact a very very very tough play there for Davidson to have to wear Ginfield is in one out Castellanos shoots this one the other way. Castellanos does and a sliding catch made by Alexander. Here comes Schwerber the throw to the plate is not in time. It's a three run inning. Max Lazar is on to try to close this one out for the Phil's as we go to the bottom of the eleventh inning. Max Lazar twenty one career saves in the minors and he's trying to get his first major league save here tonight. Runners moved to second and third and now Davidson gets a chance for his first major league plate appearance. Swing and a miss. He got him and the Phillies hang on. And have won nine consecutive games as Max Lazar closes out the eleventh inning for his first major league save.
