PHILADELPHIA — Tyler Phillips tossed a four-hit shutout in his third big league start, and the right-hander from South Jersey who grew up a diehard Philadelphia Phillies fan pitched them to an 8-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday night. Bryce Harper, Brandon Marsh and Kyle Schwarber all homered in a seven-run fourth inning. Nick Castellanos went deep in the sixth and the Phillies acquired closer Carlos Estévez as part of an eventful night at Citizens Bank Park. Phillips improved to 3-0 and has won all three big-league starts, giving the Phillies an unexpected boost in place of injured starters Taijuan Walker and Spencer Turnbull.
