Phillies Rally Past Brewers 10-8 in Wild Labor Day Clash

In a seesaw Labor Day affair at American Family Field, the Philadelphia Phillies erased an early deficit and surged past the Milwaukee Brewers, 10-8, on Monday, September 1, 2025.

The Brewers jumped out to a 4-0 lead with home runs by Brice Turang (his 17th) and Caleb Durbin (his 10th) in the first two innings, aided by a two-run double from Blake Perkins⁽¹⁾. Milwaukee starter Jacob Misiorowski was tagged for four runs over 4.1 innings, surrendering six hits and striking out four⁽7⁾.

Philadelphia’s offense ignited in the middle innings. Bryce Harper launched his 23rd homer in the fourth to make it 4-1, and by the end of the sixth, the Phillies had erased the deficit. A two-run triple from Trea Turner and sacrifice flies by Michael-Gregory Sosa and Max Kepler tied the game at 6-6-Durbin’s two-run homer and a Milwaukee error accounted for the Brewers’ final run⁽7⁾.

The decisive blow came in the top of the eighth. Harrison Bader ripped a go-ahead double to left field, driving in Brandon Marsh for a 7-6 lead. Moments later, Bryson Stott extended the cushion with an RBI double, capped off by Nick Castellanos’ sac fly to bring home a pair more runs⁽2⁾. Philadelphia added insurance in the ninth on a pair of singles to reach a final tally of 10 runs, supported by 14 total hits and three Brewers errors⁽1⁾.

Reliever Shelby Miller (1.0 IP) earned the win, while Milwaukee’s bullpen absorbed six total runs over the final 4.2 innings. The Phillies improve to 80-58 and remain atop the NL East, while the Brewers fall to 85-54 but maintain a 6.5-game lead in the NL Central⁽7⁾.
