The Phillies took an early punch on Labor Day against the top-seeded Milwaukee Brewers and their triple-digit All-Star rookie Jacob Misiorowski but fought back multiple times in a win that should inspire some confidence.
The Phils dug a four-run hole on the road, did not have the starting pitching advantage with Taijuan Walker and blew an eighth-inning lead but still had enough offensive firepower to complete the comeback. Without the best version of their starting rotation for the rest of 2025, they will need to win some games this way in October, by grinding out at-bats for nine full innings against high-quality pitching.
