The Story
The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 6-4 at Citizens Bank Park on September 22, 2026, overcoming an early deficit and rallying through the middle and late innings to secure the win. The DiamondIQ model entered the game giving Philadelphia a 47% chance of winning at home, but by the final out that estimate had climbed to 100%, reflecting how thoroughly the Phillies seized control as the game progressed.
The decisive sequence came in the bottom of the eighth inning, when Bryson Stott delivered a single off Colton Gordon that shifted win probability by +33.2%, the single largest swing of the night and the play that effectively put the game away. That moment capped a Phillies rally that plated three runs in the frame and turned a competitive game into a comfortable margin. Earlier, Milwaukee had threatened to take control in the top of the sixth when William Contreras singled off Zack Wheeler to produce a +20.3% swing in the Brewers' favor, the most damaging Brewers plate appearance of the game. Philadelphia's foundation had been laid much earlier, when Brandon Marsh hit a home run off Dustin May in the bottom of the second for a +12.7% swing, and Alec Bohm added a double off Kyle Harrison in the third for another +8.5% boost. Milwaukee's best chance to flip the game was erased in the bottom of the seventh when Derek Hill grounded into a double play off Colton Gordon, a -11.6% swing that deflated whatever momentum the Phillies had allowed to build.
On the individual side, Stott led all position players with a +30.1% WPA and +1.3 RE24, while Marsh posted the game's best RE24 among batters at +2.4 to go with his +16.0% WPA. Contreras finished with +18.0% WPA and +1.3 RE24 in a losing effort. Among pitchers, Alex McFarlane was the standout for Philadelphia, contributing +16.5% WPA to anchor the Phillies bullpen. Milwaukee's errors, two on the night against none for Philadelphia, added further strain to a road team that could not sustain its late offensive pushes.
