May 7, 2025; Tampa, Florida, USA; Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (7) hits a solo home run against the Tampa Bay Rays in the third inning at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images Cristopher Sanchez allowed one hit over six scoreless innings and Taijuan Walker struck out seven over the final three frames, fueling the visiting Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night.
Sanchez (4-1) fanned five batters and walked three, departing after 85 pitches. Walker struck out the side in both the seventh and eighth innings and fanned Curtis Mead to end the game in the ninth, earning the first save of his career.
Philadelphia’s Trea Turner homered and drove in two runs and Bryce Harper ripped a two-run double as part of his team’s five-run fourth inning.
Bryson Stott added a pair of RBI singles to avenge a 0-for-5 showing in the Phillies’ 8-4 victory in the series opener Tuesday. He joined Kyle Schwarber and Turner with two hits apiece for Philadelphia, which has scored 31 runs in its last four games and has won eight of its last 10 games.
The Phillies’ 11-hit attack was more than enough for Sanchez, who allowed a Junior Caminero single with two outs in the first inning before holding Tampa Bay hitless the rest of his outing.
J.T. Realmuto fouled a pitch off his left foot in the top of the seventh inning. He finished his at-bat before being replaced behind the plate by Rafael Marchan.
The Rays have lost six of their last eight games overall and six in a row at home.
Turner deposited a 2-1 slider from Shane Baz (3-2) over the wall in left-center field to open the scoring in the third inning. It was his second homer of the season.
The Phillies chased Baz after extending their advantage to 6-0 in the fourth inning.
Realmuto scored on a bunt from Johan Rojas, then Stott and Turner followed with RBI singles before the latter two came home on Harper’s double to left-center field.
Rojas singled to lead off the sixth inning and promptly stole second base before coming around to score on Stott’s single to left field.
Baz permitted six runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings in losing his second straight start. He yielded seven runs on nine hits in 5 2/3 innings of an 8-2 setback vs. the Kansas City Royals last Thursday.

Club World Cup: MetLife Stadium pitch criticised after hosting first game
The head coaches of both FC Porto and Palmeiras, as well as the Brazilian wonderkid Estevao, criticised the turf at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday night following the draw between the two teams in the Club World Cup.MetLife Stadium will host eight Club World Cup matches this summer, including both semi-finals and the final, before hosting the men’s World Cup final next summer in a tournament which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.AdvertisementPlaying surfaces were a cause for complaint at last summer’s Copa America in the U.S. and the Argentine head coach Lionel Scaloni described the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta as not being up to standard while goalkeeper Emi Martinez said it was a “disaster” and “like a trampoline.” Brown patches were also visible on the sides of the pitch at MetLife […]
U.S. Open 2025: What to know about J.J. Spaun’s win at Oakmont
A frantic, exceedingly soggy final round at Oakmont managed to generate one of the more exciting horse races in recent major championship history.A half-dozen players claimed a share of the lead at some point during the afternoon, navigating one of golf’s most demanding venues. After a weather delay of more than 90 minutes, J.J. Spaun emerged above the pack, making birdie on four of his last seven holes to secure his first major win.AdvertisementHere are the top numbers and notes to know from the final round of the 125th United States Open.1. Spaun’s performance Sunday was inarguably one of the most resilient by a major champion in the history of the sport. He clanged an approach off the pin at the second that bounded back some 50 yards. He made bogey on four of his first five holes and scored […]
Fantasy Baseball: Shocking Rafael Devers trade clears up Red Sox logjam, gives slugger fresh start with Giants
It's Father's Day, and Dad is tired of your drama. That is, if Dad is Red Sox GM Craig Breslow and you are Red Sox DH Rafael Devers.And that's probably where the father/son analogy should end because Breslow just made Devers someone else's problem, dealing him to the Giants for left-hander Kyle Harrison, right-hander Jordan Hicks, outfield prospect James Tibbs and low-level minor-league reliever Jose Bello.Perhaps it's not fair to call Devers a "problem" given the kind of numbers he's put up this year. For reference:Those are enough to make him the No. 2 or 3 third baseman in Fantasy, depending on your scoring format. But see, I have to specify "in Fantasy" because Devers isn't playing third base in real life. That's the source of the strife, in fact. A bout with shoulder inflammation last year brought into focus […]
Five worst Red Sox trades in team history: Could Rafael Devers join Mookie Betts, Babe Ruth on infamous list?
To state the plainly obvious, it's far too soon to pass judgment on the blockbuster trade that sent Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox to the San Francisco Giants in a five-player stunner. Given the young players involved, it's probably going to be years before we can fully appraise this particular swap. The at-first-blush returns, though, are not kind toward Boston. That's what happens when you trade one of MLB's best hitters who's still in his prime, no matter how icy the player-club relationship may be. One of the truest truisms in baseball is that the team that acquires the star almost always wins the trade. In this instance, it's the Red Sox who are parting with the star. The very real possibility that this trade will go poorly for Boston raises the general topic of "Red Sox disaster trades," of […]
Liam Delap ‘future England No 9’ says Maresca but not guaranteed to be first-choice at Chelsea
Enzo Maresca insists Liam Delap has not been given any assurances about being Chelsea’s first-choice striker, but is backing him to become England’s next great No 9.Delap completed a £30million move to Chelsea from relegated Ipswich Town earlier this month and went straight into Maresca’s squad for the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.AdvertisementBut the Italian would not confirm if Delap will make his Chelsea debut from the start in Monday’s first group stage match against LAFC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, and warned that the 22-year-old will have to compete with Nicolas Jackson for the No 9 spot in his strongest XI.“I never say to a player you are going to be first choice,” Maresca said. “The message is always the same: you arrive, you work hard, you work more than the other number nine and you […]
