Bryce Harper Walk-Off Lifts Phillies Over Padres in 10th: Full Game Highlights, Stats & Reaction

The Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres open a pivotal three-game set tonight, July 11, 2025, at Petco Park with first pitch scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET/6:40 p.m. PT. Ranger Suárez (7-2, 1.99 ERA) gets the ball for Philadelphia after limiting Cincinnati to one run over five innings in his last outing. The left-hander owns 10 quality starts in 12 tries and is holding opponents to a .208 average, a major reason the Phillies have climbed to 54-39 and sit just 1.5 games behind Atlanta in the NL East. Opposite him will be rookie right-hander Ryan Bergert (1-0, 2.67 ERA), making only his sixth career start for a Padres club (50-43) that has surged since mid-June and currently holds the second NL Wild Card. Bergert’s strong 1.148 WHIP has helped stabilize a rotation that lost Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove to the IL.
