Yordan Alvarez hit the first of his three homers in the fourth inning off Taijuan Walker, a two-run, opposite-field shot.
Houston Astros' Yordan Alvarez hits a home run off Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Michael Mercado during the eighth inning of a baseball game, Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2024, in Philadelphia.
Arrighetti was lifted with two outs in the eighth, finishing with 11 strikeouts and four walks while allowing two hits in his longest outing as a professional in either the majors or minors. He was trying to become the fourth pitcher in the big leagues to toss a no-hitter this season, joining teammate Ronel Blanco, who no-hit the Toronto Blue Jays on April 1. Bryan King worked 1 1/3 innings and combined with Arrighetti to limit the Phillies to three hits.
Walker was tagged for six runs on 13 hits in six innings. The Phillies have lost his last nine starts. The 32-year-old right-hander signed a four-year, $72 million deal prior to the 2023 season.
