The game started out as a投手戦, with both starting pitchers, Alek Manoah for the Blue Jays and Aaron Nola for the Phillies, pitching effectively. The Phillies drew first blood in the top of the third inning when Harper hit a two-run homer off Manoah.
However, the Blue Jays responded quickly in the bottom of the inning. Bichette singled to lead off the inning and later scored on a double by Guerrero. Hernandez then drove in Guerrero with a single to tie the game at 2-2.
The Blue Jays took the lead for good in the fifth inning. Springer led off with a single and advanced to second on a walk to Guerrero. Hernandez then singled to drive in Springer, giving the Blue Jays a 3-2 lead.
The Phillies threatened to tie the game again in the top of the seventh inning. Harper led off with a double and Castellanos followed with a single. However, Manoah was able to induce a double play and strike out Schwarber to end the inning.
The Blue Jays added two more runs in the bottom of the eighth inning on a two-run homer by Bichette. The Phillies were unable to respond in the ninth inning, and the Blue Jays secured the victory.
The Blue Jays' victory was due in large part to the strong performance of their bullpen. After Manoah was pulled from the game in the top of the sixth inning, Tim Mayza, Jordan Romano, and Yimi Garcia combined to pitch three scoreless innings, allowing only two hits.
The Phillies, on the other hand, were unable to get much going against the Blue Jays' bullpen. After Nola allowed three runs on six hits in five innings, the Phillies' bullpen was unable to hold the lead.
The Blue Jays' victory was also due to their ability to capitalize on opportunities. The Blue Jays scored all of their runs with two outs, while the Phillies were only able to score once with two outs.
The Blue Jays' victory was a significant one as it moved them into first place in the AL East. The Phillies, meanwhile, dropped to third place in the NL East. The two teams are scheduled to face off again in Philadelphia on August 2.
