The Phillies seized momentum with a four-run sixth inning, turning a one-run deficit into a 4-1 advantage. Weston Wilson tied the game with an RBI single before Turner's pivotal two-run single pushed the Phillies ahead. Harper's shallow RBI single to right-center capped the rally.
Arizona, riding a hot streak with several comeback wins, responded swiftly. Jake McCarthy's two-run homer off reliever Orion Kerkering in the bottom of the sixth narrowed the gap to 4-3. The Diamondbacks, who had gone 5-1 on their recent road trip to Pittsburgh and Cleveland, boast a 22-10 record since July 1.
J.T. Realmuto's solo homer off Slade Cecconi in the seventh extended Philadelphia's lead to 5-3, while Edmundo Sosa's RBI double in the ninth padded the cushion to 6-3. The bullpen trio of Jeff Hoffman, José Alvarado, and Carlos Estévez sealed the win, with Estévez earning his 21st save despite surrendering an RBI single to McCarthy in the ninth. It was Estévez's first save since joining the Phillies following his trade from the Angels.
The victory marked Philadelphia's first series opener win since the All-Star break. Kolby Allard (1-0) earned his first major league win since 2022, allowing one run on six hits over five innings while striking out three.
