The Philadelphia Phillies faced the Tampa Bay Rays in a heated game that concluded with a 9-4 victory for the Phillies. A confrontation arose in the eighth inning when Rays pitcher Edwin Uceta hit Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos, prompting Bryce Harper to intervene.

After the incident, Uceta was ejected from the game, resulting in Hunter Bigge taking over as reliever. Castellanos later remarked on Uceta's frustration stemming from a challenging performance on the mound.

The Phillies improved their season record to 87-58, while Kyle Schwarber set a new MLB record with his 14th leadoff home run but left the game due to elbow discomfort.
