Phillies kick off a series against the Brewers in Milwaukee tonight.
The Phillies currently lead the all-time regular season series 98-84 and also hold a 3-1 postseason record against Milwaukee.
Philadelphia is set to face a towering Brewers Cy Young candidate on the mound, reminiscent of when Shane Victorino crushed a grand slam off former Brewers ace C.C. Sabathia in Game 2 of the 2008 NLDS.
It was the first postseason grand slam in Phillies franchise history and remains one of only two postseason grand slams in team history
1.) Shane Victorino (2008 NLDS)
2.) Bryson Stott (2023 NLWC)

Canada takes on Bosnia and Herzegovina today in their first World Cup match of 2026.
It’s only the third time Canada has ever qualified for the FIFA World Cup after previously appearing in 1986 and 2022.
Canada has yet to win a match in World Cup history, going 0-6 all-time, so a victory today would mark a historic moment for the country’s program.
The only World Cup goal ever scored by a Canadian player belongs to Alphonso Davies, who scored just two minutes into Canada’s match against Croatia in 2022
