They added another run in the fifth and a final two runs in the tenth to secure the win, despite the Blue Jays' persistent effort to rally back.

Toronto put up a fight, scoring one run in the fourth and fifth innings before a decisive three-run eighth gave them a brief lead. However, the Blue Jays were unable to capitalize on their opportunities, striking out 15 times and leaving several runners on base. Both teams finished with ten hits, but the Phillies' ability to draw walks (11 total) proved crucial as they maintained pressure on Toronto's pitching staff.
