Blue Jays vs. Phillies Game Highlights (5/7/24) | MLB Highlights

Start Tonight, it will be left hander. Christopher sanchez making the start. Getting ahead is key for Christopher giving him the ability to use the change up more effectively command of his fastball to do that is most important. George Springer is stepping into the batter's box. This one is lined to right center and that's a base hit will cut it off and hold Springer to a single and given the extent to which George has been to get a base hit with good contact and your first at bat of the night has to feel awfully good. Now, a runner on first and Vladimir Guerrero Jr up riding an eight game hit streak this one weekly back to the mound. They only play to first as Guerrero grounds out spring of the second and that will bring up Justin Turner ground ball to first Harper up with it. That's the second out as Springer comes to third. So here's Bo Bichette hitting cleanup again. Miss got him with the slider first strikeout for sanchez. No runs one hit and a man left at third on to the bottom of the first. The Phillies coming up for the Phillies 1st first time. On jose Barrios bright spot for Toronto. He's been outstanding Barrios four and two, a 1.44 earned red average lowest, er, a in baseball Kyle Schwarber who leads off tonight got him with a change down to strike him out. Kyle Schwarber was not thinking changeup at all. Great pitch by former Blue Jay bouncer to short backhanded by Bichette and the throw in time to get him two down and that will bring up Bryce Harper currently riding a 17 game on base street opposite way that will be in for a base hit for Harper. That didn't he? Yes, he did two out single here in the first laid off some tough pitches, fouled off some tough pitches and got one he liked and hit a bullet to left field. Two outs runner on Castanos was aboard four times yesterday. Today he's in the cleanup spot. Drive into left field slowly going down to the corner Harper speeding to third. He's being waved home. He's going to four RB I double the Phillies strike first again one here in the bottom of the first. Phillies 2nd So a run for the Phillies in the bottom of the first. And here is Brandon Marshall good breaking ball good slur down and in, in the second strike out of the night for Barrios. When in doubt you go to that one right there. That's a sharp breaker down in the zone. Here's Bryson scott lines one up the middle a base hit, he threads the needle there between Bichette and Kiner FFA. Here's Edmundo Sosa back in the starting lineup at shortstop. Tonight goes again, the second base on one hop is safe at second base eighth stolen base of the year for Bryson ST. So batting 276 with a homer four runs batted him and a swing and a miss to get him at the bottom of the zone two down. He didn't go with the breaking ball. He came back with an off speed pitch. The changeup, another good one at the bottom of the zone and gets the swing from. So that change up has really been tough on lefties this year. Left handed hitters hitting only 0 88 against him. Here's cody Clemens deep to right field, forget about it. A two run home run for Cody Clemens. He's home in back to back big league games and the Phillies lead it three to, he got a change up. It's almost like he was sitting on, he didn't get fooled. He just barreled that baby up well into the seats in right Phillies 3rd Phillies three. The Jays, nothing in the bottom of the fourth stato had a base hit his first time up and did he go? Yes, he did on the appeal down to third and that's already strikeout number six. So he's getting a lot of swing and a miss, he's striking out a lot of guys, but he's also given up three runs. There's Edmundo Sosa that got him on the hip will go to first to bring up the third baseman Cody Clemens. Soa leads it first. It's lined out to left center field on the run. Is Kiermaier leaps up. He can get on the track. So will score Clemens to third. He will be held there half way to the cycle. He's given the Phillies a 40 lead tremendous by Kiermaier the four time gold glove winner leaving his feet and just out of his reach, here's kyle Schwarber with runners on the corners in the dirt. He did not go. The third base didn't swing. Justin Turner can't believe it, can't believe it either. Had a swing been pulled that overrides the hit batter but because it was no swing on the appeal, it is a hit batter. The dugout is not pleased and the Phillies have the bases loaded. The bases are loaded with Merrifield now, a swing and a Miss Barrios gets Merrifield for the second out. That's what you need with the bases loaded and only one out you need a swing and miss you do not want a ball in play paces full Clemens at third stubbs at second. Schwarber at first Harper has been on twice already a single and a walk. He scored a run. I got a feeling is going to be done right here. Going back to no hard second grand slam this year. It's the eighth of his career and it just had enough. You can just tell that Bryce was locked in. That's why he's one of the great ones. The Philadelphia Phillies gunning for their seventh win in a row. They've knocked out the starter with the lowest, er, a in the majors in the fourth inning. They have taken it to Jose Barrios tonight. Schneider is letting Clements have it. He's going to him right away about that check swing. I am sure Andy Fletcher is coming over as the crew chief at home plate umpire to chime in. John goes right back to Paul Clemens. The third base umpire that called. Schwarber did not swing on. He is out of this game with runners at 2nd and 3rd and 1 out. It's Kiner-Falefa coming to the plate, the ground ball to short. This is going to get a run home as Kiner-Falefa is retired, Jansen will cross and it's 8 to 1. Kirk still at second two down. Now here's Kevin Kiermaier pop up to shallow center field. Marsh says he has it and he does , he will make the catch. The inning is over a run does score but seven solid innings for Christopher sanchez, it's time to stretch with the Phillies up 8 to 1. Stat Sousa and Clemens do up here in the bottom of the eighth and ST with a multi hit game tonight, starts eighth with a single off of Meza swung on hit in the air left, center up the alley on the run. Kiermaier. This ball is off the wall bounds away. Back into center ST is on his way home soa on his way into third, he's going to stop there with an RB I triple off the state farm sign soa will make it a 9 to 1. Phillies lead. Here's Clemons, there's a shattered bat. Clement has it throws off balance. What a by Guerrero, the run does score. So another RB I for Cody, that's his fourth RB I of the night we go to the ninth inning. The Phillies on top 10 to 1. Here's Volga back now. 31 years old. He's hitting one and seven ground ball to second back at it by ST there's one and two. Nice way to punctuate the victory, 463 on the double play. So 11 in a row here at home for the Phillies, it's their longest home winning streak since 2010. After 37 games all time. The Phillies are right on the doorstep. Johnny of your 93 team winning percentage wise. 26 and 11.
