McCann’s Homer Ends Phillies Streak | Philadelphia News

James McCann crushed the game-winning homer on the first pitch he saw, sealing a 1-0 Diamondbacks victory over the Phillies and snapping Arizona’s three-game skid. With seven relievers combining for a shutout and zero hits in scoring position, the D-backs surged ahead in the wild card race, now a half-game up on the Padres with just 21 games left. Philadelphia’s six-game win streak ended in heartbreaking fashion, as their ace held Arizona scoreless for seven innings — only to see their bullpen falter in the ninth. The Phillies, still clinging to a four-game cushion in the NL East, now face a brutal stretch against Atlanta and Houston, where every pitch could decide their postseason fate.
