Chicago White Sox at Philadelphia Phillies: Final Score & Recap

The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Chicago White Sox 8-6 at Citizens Bank Park on June 5, 2026, in a game that was largely decided by a chaotic second inning and sealed by a pivotal double play late in the contest.

The decisive stretch came in the bottom of the second, when the Phillies erupted for five runs against Anthony Kay. Alec Bohm's double carried the single largest positive swing of the frame at plus 16.2% win probability, and Brandon Marsh followed with a home run that added another 12.1%, collectively turning the inning into the game's defining sequence.

But any remaining White Sox momentum evaporated in the top of the eighth when Rikuu Nishida grounded into a double play off Brad Keller, a swing of negative 21.6% win probability that effectively ended Chicago's chances.
