The Phillies might’ve won their most important game of the season on Thursday night.

They looked dead in the water through five innings against the Braves at Citizens Bank Park, but then Brandon Marsh hit a three-run home run to left field in the sixth to get them within one, and Nick Castellanos hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh to win it. It extended the Phillies’ lead over Atlanta in the NL East with 28 games to play.

Lots of good things happening lately, including Castellanos and Marsh.

But the fellas also dig into the bad. Taijuan Walker has been moved to the bullpen. Why wasn’t he DFA’d? What will his role be moving forward? Is there any chance he’s in Clearwater next spring?

We answer a couple more of your questions, too!

The Phillies got to Kansas City this weekend in desperate need for a good series, and for some good at-bats.

They got both.

They won the series against the Royals. They scored 11 runs on both Saturday and Sunday. It was their first time scoring 10 or more runs in consecutive games since Aug. 6-7, 2022. It was very encouraging to see players like J.T. Realmuto, Bryson Stott, Brandon Marsh and Garrett Stubbs have big weekends.

But it wasn’t just the offense. The Phillies got some good pitching from Ranger Suárez, who rejoined the rotation, and No. 6 starter Kolby Allard, who threw the ball well on Sunday. Conversely, are the Phillies reaching the end with Taijuan Walker? His next turn into the rotation is uncertain.
