The Phillies took on the Marlins on April 26, 2019 inside the friendly confines of Citizens Bank Park. Pitcher Jerad Eickhoff returned to the form he had a few seasons ago, as he pitched seven innings allowing only two hits while striking out six batters. The Phillies had a hard time manufacturing runs, but at least unlike the Marlins they managed a few. J.T. Realmuto and Maikel Franco both had solo home runs early in the ballgame. The fans were woken up in the bottom of the 8th inning when Bryce Harper smashed a two-run home run into the second deck to insure the lead a bit. The Phillies continue to be right in the thick of it in the division as the Braves, Nationals, and Mets all are sitting at around the same record.
