Impact Phillips allowed two runs over his first six innings but stumbled in the seventh, yielding two more runs without recording an out. He threw an impressive 51 strikes on 79 pitches with 11 whiffs and pitched well enough to secure the first win of his career. It remains to be seen what the rookie's role will be after the All-Star break, but he has a good shot to stay in the mix until either Taijuan Walker (finger) or Spencer Turnbull (lat) return from the injured list.
