Phillies Lose Fall Frustratingly to Brewers, Magic No. Remains 2

The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-1 on Thursday in Philadelphia, marking their 100th victory of the season and handing the Phillies their sixth consecutive series loss. Sal Frelick opened the scoring for Milwaukee with an RBI double before Bryce Harper tied the game with a single in the third inning. Milwaukee broke the tie in the eighth inning with RBI singles from Jake Bauers, Cooper Pratt, and Joey Ortiz, followed by a Jackson Chourio solo home run in the ninth.

Philadelphia starter Andrew Painter pitched six innings, allowing one earned run on five hits with eight strikeouts across 93 pitches. In the sixth inning, Phillies player Luis Arraez injured his ankle while diving to avoid a tag at first base and had to be helped off the field. Arraez was ruled out for running outside the baseline, prompting an unsuccessful argument from Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly.
