Phillies rally behind Bryson Stott's go-ahead 2-run single for 5th straight win
Bryson Stott’s two-run single capped a four-run sixth as Philadelphia won for the fifth straight time and moved into the second NL wild-card spot.
On Tuesday, Bryson Stott put the Philadelphia Phillies ahead with a two-run single in the sixth inning, extending Philadelphia's winning streak to five games with a 6-4 victory over the Miami Marlins.
Trailing 3-1, the Phillies sent nine batters to the plate in the sixth inning and scored four times against reliever Michael Petersen , overcoming fielding errors and walks.
Alec Bohm drove in the first run with a single in the first inning and added an RBI double in the sixth; Justin Crawford delivered a run-scoring single after Stott extended his on-base streak to a career-high 19 games.
Relief pitcher Brooks Raley retired the side on 12 pitches in the ninth for his first save as a Phillie, with Kyle Schwarber's eighth-inning RBI single providing insurance after Jhoan Duran became unavailable.
Philadelphia occupies the second National League wild-card spot at 11 games over.500, though Zack Wheeler's six-game winless streak raises October concerns for a team relying on top starters like Kevin Gausman's 27.1 fWAR mark since 2020.
