Phillies Collapse in 105° Heat | Philadelphia Phillies News
Description
The Phillies crumbled in a brutal 6-1 loss to the Pirates in a scorching 105-degree finale, splitting their four-game series. The bullpen collapsed—Kyle Backhus, Tim Mayza, and Jose Alvarado all struggled, with Alvarado’s two runs sealing the game. Offense barely clicked, tallying just four hits, though Bryce Harper kept his hot streak alive with an RBI in eight straight games. Starter Alan Rangel held strong for four innings but left the team searching for bullpen and rotation stability. The Pirates’ pitching shut down Philly’s bats in the heat, and now the Phillies head on the road for nine games against sub-.500 teams—prime time to regroup before the All-Star break.
