Max Kepler, Brandon Marsh Homer as Phillies Win Second Game of Doubleheader with Padres

In Wednesday's nightcap, Kepler hit a two-run homer, helping the Phillies secure a 5-1 victory over the Padres in the doubleheader.
Kepler’s discontent with playing time last week motivated him to start his seventh straight game against right-handers, leading to his standout swing.
Kepler's 379-foot homer off Dylan Cease, a slider into right field, underscored his power and contributed to the Phillies' 5-1 victory.
Kepler's home run supported Sánchez’s seventh win, as he limited the Padres to one run over seven innings.
On Thursday, the Phillies have a day off before starting a three-game series against the Reds on July Fourth.
