The Philadelphia Phillies have carried their success in May over into June, remaining hot and climbing their way back into the playoff picture in the National League.After winning their first six series under interim manager Don Mattingly, the team lost two in a row. A trip out west helped them get back on track, sweeping the San Diego Padres before losing two out of three to the Los Angeles Dodgers.They returned home after that series loss and immediately picked up two more. Another sweep of the Padres was completed at Citizens Bank Park before the Phillies welcomed in the Chicago White Sox.One of the biggest surprises in baseball, Philadelphia was able to hold them off in Game 1, 8-6, before being defeated in Game 2, 6-3. In the rubber game matinee, the Phillies' offense was able to come alive to hold off the American League Central visitors.Phillies beat White Sox to win seriesJun 7, 2026; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (12) gets a lift from third baseman Alec Bohm (28) after sliding safely into home against the Chicago White Sox during the sixth inning at Citizens Bank Park. | Eric Hartline-Imagn ImagesPhiladelphia won 9-5, receiving contributions from up and down their lineup. Designated hitter Kyle Schwarber and right fielder Adolis Garcia were the only players to not register a hit, as the team recorded 11. The hitless afternoon snapped the five-game hitting streak that Garcia had put together.The Phillies had five extra-base hits in the game, including home runs from left fielder Brandon Marsh and catcher Rafael Marchan. Marchan hit his in the second inning to give Philadelphia the lead back, while Marsh went deep the following inning to get back the run Aaron Nola allowed in the top of the inning.After putting together two strong outings against San Diego, Nola labored through 4.1 innings of work this afternoon. He got himself into trouble, issuing four walks and allowing six hits that resulted in five earned runs being scored against him.On a positive note, he didn’t allow a home run, something that has been plaguing him throughout the year.
