Weston Wilson’s Infield Single Leads Phillies to 3-2 Win and Series Sweep Over Rays…

Weston Wilson’s infield single drove in the go-ahead run, securing a 3-2 victory for the Philadelphia Phillies over the Tampa Bay Rays, completing a three-game sweep. Nick Castellanos hit a home run, and Zack Wheeler struck out nine in six innings as the Phillies inched closer to their first National League East title since 2011.

Wilson’s key hit, a 70-foot single down the third-base line, came with two outs in the sixth inning, allowing Castellanos to score from third. This marked the third straight game where a Phillies bench player delivered the decisive hit. The Rays questioned whether the ball had hit Wilson, but the umpire confirmed it hadn’t.

Wilson replaced Kyle Schwarber, who was scratched due to discomfort in his left elbow after hyperextending it in Tuesday’s game. In the series, bench players like Clemens, Cal Stevenson, Buddy Kennedy, and Aramis Garcia also made significant contributions while filling in for injured teammates.
