Taijuan Walker threw 6 2/3 solid innings and became the first pitcher in the major leagues with 12 wins as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 4-2 in the opener of their four-game series.
MIAMI, FLORIDA - JULY 31: Taijuan Walker #99 of the Philadelphia Phillies delivers a pitch against the Miami Marlins during the first inning at loanDepot park on July 31, 2023 in Miami, Florida. Taijuan Walker threw 6 2/3 solid innings and became the first pitcher in the major leagues with 12 wins as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 4-2 in the opener of their four-game series Monday night.
"My body feels good but we’re at the end of July and some players hit a little wall before their second wind," Walker said. "I was able to finish strong and come out of it good." Bryson Stott hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly off Tanner Scott with the bases loaded in the seventh that gave Philadelphia a 3-2 lead. Scott allowed a leadoff walk to Kyle Schwarber and Bohm’s double. Bryce Harper then grounded out to drawn-in third baseman Jean Segura and J.T. Realmuto was intentionally walked before Stott lifted a drive to medium left that scored Schwarber."You have to let them throw something to hit," Bohm said.
"After the first two hitters it didn’t look too good but our guys kept after it," Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. Steven Okert inherited two runners when he relieved Cabrera in the fourth and allowed rookie Johan Rojas’ game-tying two-run double. Rojas is hitting .346 since being promoted from the minors July 15.
