Phillies vs. Marlins Game Highlights (6/18/25) | MLB Highlights

Right hander Adam Major Major is making his Marlins debut. He started eight games for San Diego last year at the major league level. This year the number 12 prospect in the Marlins organization according to MLB Pipeline has waved at and missed a curveball. And that's the first punch out in the Marlins uniform for Adam Major. He had Schwaber guessing and that was a reluctant swing on a curveball that found the back door. Ranger Suarez is five and one with a one sixteen ERA across his last seven starts. That goes back to May 10th. The only guy with a lower ERA over their last seven starts in Major League Baseball Paul Skeen's at zero point seven six and the 0 2 pitch swing and a miss struck him out and Ramirez gone on three pitches. To a base runner given the first inning for the Marlins will bring the cleanup hitter Heriberto Hernandez playing right field to the plate swing and a miss. He got him with a change up that strikeout gives him six hundred career strikeouts to win this inning. It's a leadoff walk issued by Adam Major to Max Kepler. It brings real Buto up to two is a foul tip held on to by Augustine. That's a punch out and Major has a second strikeout. There's one away in the top of the second pitch and the payoff is a foul tip again held on to by Ramirez. That's another punch up back to back foul tip strikeouts and the one one at a ground ball in Sosa's hands little dribbler over to third. Norby's got it. He throws on the run and they get the lightning quick Sosa at first base just in time. Here is Dane Meyers who missed the ballgame last night and a strike three calls third strikeout. Yeah you know you got to respect the fact that Ranger has that great change up and he just threw a fastball right down the middle. Dane Meyers couldn't pull the trigger on Connor Norby gifted a two hour walk. So for the second inning in a row two up two down then a two hour walk. Ranger with a one to swing and a miss. He got it as Winkler way out front. And another strikeout for Ranger Suarez. We're talking hard hit rate. Well it's been everything but against Ranger Suarez this season. The lowest allowed percentage by starting pitchers Suarez tops the list a twenty eight point eight percent hard hit rate. Bouncer left to the mound. Ranger has it sets it fires in time. No forward around that time. So Noah can run especially when you have to lean over the plate like that as a right you get a pretty good head start to first base. Ranger made that thing look easy or did he rocks and fires and that another bouncing ball left side of the mound Suarez off the hill again. He fires into right field down the line X ranging around first headed to second base and he cruises in their Ranger Suarez. He got off the hill looked like he was going to make another nice play off the mound but instead that's a single and a throwing error on the pitcher. He sailed that toss to first base. Now Xavier Edwards slightly more speed than a Javier Sanoja put a little bit more pressure on Suarez and a one one check swing a little floated towards first Bohm plays it on a hop and he'll flip it to Suarez covering in plenty of time. Another base hit out to left center field for Allen. He's two for two. That brings up Nick Castellanos one ripped into right center field that is falling quickly on Myers. He lays out and Dane makes the catch. Yes I think the first base umpire Luz Diaz is saying no that dropped looking at the replay here. I think he caught that ball eight four six on the fielder's choice. That's the official scoring. Dane is upset and rightfully so he better get credit for that catch. That's crazy. But the Marlins will not challenge second walk in the night issued by Major. He's a first and second with one out. A.T. who struck out his first time up has a hit in ten of his last twelve games. That's a line drive through the hole on the left side of base and Castellanos around third heading for home. The throw to the plate by Sanoja is not in time and everybody advances one nothing Phillies J.T. picks up his twenty-seventh RBI and he's now hit it seven of eight infield is in now Scott with a chance to add on and the pitch not swings and hits one deep up the alley right center long run Hernandez and it is gone. It clears and it's a three run home run for Bryson Stott. The Phillies with a four nothing lead on Stott's fifth home run of the season. Bryson Stott absolutely clobbered that one and that had to feel good for a man who has struggled a whole lot of late Rangers Suarez heads back to the mound bottom of the fifth inning. He's got a four nothing lead Rangers Suarez now 19 and a third consecutive scoreless innings here at Lone Depot Park Connor Norby starts it for the fish. The two one pitch that one cracked out to center field Marci's back Marci at the track he's looking up and it's gone. Norby needed that. He gets the Marlins on the board. Connor Norby drills a ball one oh seven off the bat and four hundred and fifteen feet later it's four one fills in the bottom of the fifth. Now you love to see his first home run in nearly a month. Well that's going to be it for major his first start as a Marlin will come to an end here in the sixth inning. The two runners on base are his but there are two away in the top of the sixth. We've got a pitching change in the right hander Lake Bakker runners at first and second with two away and ball for the bases are now loaded for the Phillies and it does bring Swarbrick up ready for the 0 2 and he drives one high in the air out to left field Sanoha working towards the line ballpark holding this and Harvey is holding it now in the leather to end the inning and Suarez is hunting his eighth straight quality start swing and a miss. He got him six strikeouts. He got him fishing on that one. Yeah he did. Eighty one pitches for Rangers so that that's not a big deal. No sinker use a lot of sinkers today. Yeah. Basically sinker change a few cutters here and there and swinging a strikeout strikeouts he retires the side in order six in a row since that home run and the lead off man is once again on base for the Phillies tonight. Here's Nick Castellanos hope for three swings at the first pitch again lines it to left center field it's deep going back on it as Meyers it's off the base of the wall. Ball read it well. Now he's going to be waved. Now he's going to be stopped. It'll be a double for Castellanos and the Phillies have second and third four pitches for Nick or pitches for swings runners at second and third here with nobody out the top of the seven is the Phillies with a great chance here in the seventh to tack on ground ball backhanded by Wigeman. Ball doesn't go. Now Castellanos is caught. They've got him in a rundown. And Castellanos is out. And they're going to get two outs on that play as Nick Castellanos breaking off the bag at second base Wigeman actually was kind of casually going back to first. He stepped on first after checking on the runner at third base says the Phillies miss a big chance there. It's a three six double play range for us. It's just been fantastic. Six innings so far only three hits. Phillies are up four to one. He's got seven quality starts in a row not counting tonight even though right now he has it but he's still in the game in a leadoff base run over the base hit for Eric Wigeman fly ball right field Castellanos going back. He's got a beat on it and as he backpedals he makes that catch Dave Meyers retired on one pitch by drive out to left Kepler coming over makes the catch. They're not waiting around at all. They're in a hurry. Two outs here in the seventh inning Jack Winkler the batter with two outs runner goes swing and a miss. He got him eight strikeouts for Rangers Suarez and ties his season high. Ranger Suarez through seven innings of one run ball. The Phillies trying to get some insurance here now have a man in scoring position Max Kepler coming to the plate. He's hope for two comes home with a two to. Popped up infield fly rule in a fact two away to two to real Muto that went chased. It was a curve ball in the dirt real Muto takes off Augustine picks it up right pulls it over the first base in time to get real Muto by a couple of steps. And now it's Matt Strahm who's going to try to close it out. Here is Hernandez 0 for three tonight swinging away. He lines one down the left field line that's a fair ball rolling into the corner a lead off double for every Berto Hernandez. Yeah. Now the interesting part of that you have a couple of guys coming up who swing the bat well against lefties. Strahm now seeing Dane Myers Hernandez is at second to Marlins are trailing four to one that is a broken back player in the left center field that's going to get down for a base hit. Hernandez is around third coming towards the plate. He's going to score it's four to two. Dane Myers with an RBI single and all of a sudden the guy that homered earlier tonight is the tying run in the bottom of the ninth swing and a miss. He got him second out of the inning second strikeout for Strahm. And now the Marlins down to their final out and it'll be the shortstop Jack Winkler. So now with two outs and a runner at first delivers a two one and that is ripped into left field a base hit for Jack Winkler. His first major league hit keeps this game alive here in the bottom of the ninth. Now the tying run is at first and the winning run is coming to the plate. You're always going to remember it but in a situation like that to keep the rally alive ninth inning. Good job. Congrats to Jack Winkler. Tying runs at first base winning run is at the plate Fortes the hitter now swung on hit in the air right field backing up Castellanos to the track near the wall jumps makes the catch bangs into the wall and he hangs on and Nick Castellanos makes the catch at the fence and the Phillies win the ballgame. And you've got to be kidding me the way baseball works out sometimes Nick Castellanos in the game still in the ninth inning and he makes the catch at the wall to end the game.
