The Philadelphia Phillies secured their fifth consecutive victory with a 7-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on May 20, 2025, in Denver. The standout performer for the Phillies was Kyle Schwarber, who hit his 17th home run of the season, tying him with Shohei Ohtani for the major league lead in homers. Bryce Harper contributed significantly with three hits, including two doubles, while Bryson Stott and Brandon Marsh also showcased their hitting skills with three hits each during the game.
Starting pitcher Jesús Lazardo delivered an impressive performance, allowing just one run on two hits across six innings while striking out ten batters, improving his record to 5-0. The Phillies’ offense wasted no time in establishing a lead, as Harper’s first double swiftly brought in two runs in the first inning. The team kept the pressure on, making it 4-1 with a scoring play in the fifth inning from a double hit by Max Kepler.
The Rockies, struggling with a major league-worst record of 8-40, managed to score a run in the fourth inning but were unable to catch up with the Phillies. The game featured additional highlights including a home run from Schwarber in the seventh inning and two RBI singles from Rockies’ pinch-hitter Mickey Moniak and Ryan McMahon in the ninth, but it wasn’t enough to turn the tide.
Statistically, the Phillies have dominated their matchups against the Rockies this season, winning all five encounters and outscoring them 30-10. As the teams prepare for the next game, the Phillies look to maintain their momentum with Taijuan Walker set to take the mound against Rockies’ Carson Palmquist.
This victory underscores the Phillies’ strong performance and resilience, highlighting their collaborative effort on both offense and defense. As the season progresses, fans will hope to see continued success and perhaps a deep playoff run for the team.
