Bridger Phillips and Carsten Eskelsen were major factors no matter where they played. Throwing, Phillips struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Eskelsen tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. That's the most strikeouts Phillips has posted over his last eight contests. At bat, Phillips went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases and two runs, while Eskelsen went 2-for-3 with two runs. Phillips is becoming a predictor of Filer's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 7-1 (and 3-13 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Brayden Cowger, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI and one triple. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Brett Paxton, who got on base in two of his four plate appearances with two RBI and one run.
Filer pushed their record up to 10-14 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Gooding, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 8-12.
As of now, neither Filer nor the Senators have any future games scheduled.
