Phillies Take the Series! 9-5 Over the White Sox on a Lockdown Bullpen

Phillies 9, White Sox 5, and the Phillies take the series two games to one. Aaron Nola gets roughed up again, five earned over four and a third, but the bullpen throws four and two-thirds of shutout ball behind him, José Alvarado picks up the win, and Jonathan Bowlan ends it on a double play. Brandon Marsh keeps mashing, his eighth homer plus a wall-climbing catch, Rafael Marchán adds a two-run shot, Harper and Bohm each double in runs, and the bottom of the order does the damage. Jacob Gonzalez of the Sox gets the show's first official Volpe, called out by Nola without ever moving the bat. The Phillies are seven and three over their last ten and now up a full game for the last wild card. Off to Toronto tomorrow.
