After a shaky first inning, they exploded for three runs in the second and never looked back, building a commanding lead. This win marks their 80th game with at least five runs scored — on pace for one of their best offensive seasons. Shōta Imanaga delivered his 13th quality start, while the bullpen locked down the victory. After a rough stretch, this performance is exactly what they needed as they prepare to face Pirates ace Paul Skenes again.
