The Phillies are rolling at home (38–21) and looking to sweep the Mariners. Trea Turner is on fire, batting .366 over his last 10 games with 3 doubles, a homer, and 6 RBIs. Kyle Schwarber leads the team with 43 HR, while Cristopher Sánchez takes the mound tonight with a stellar 2.39 ERA and 157 strikeouts.

- Record: 68–58 (2nd in AL West)
- Last 10 Games: 5–5
- Streak: L3

Seattle’s pitching has faltered lately, posting a 5.07 ERA over their last 10 games. Bryce Miller returns from the IL to start tonight, making his first appearance since June 6. Offensively, Julio Rodríguez and Josh Naylor remain key threats, but the Mariners need sharper execution to stay in the AL Wild Card race.
