Overview
- Marsh went 4-for-4 in Sunday's win over the Rockies, pushing his average to .353 and extending his hitting streak to 12 games.
- The 28-year-old earned an everyday job under interim manager Don Mattingly, a change from last year’s platoon use that followed a 2025 hamstring layoff and Triple-A reset.
- Teammates and coaches cite a clearer plan at the plate and trust to face left- and right-handed pitching as keys to his surge.
- He is striking out less and seeing many balls in play fall for hits, with a .413 batting average on balls in play this year and a .375 career mark that often cools for most hitters.
- Philadelphia has won 10 of its last 13 games since the managerial change, and closer Jhoan Duran resumed normal ninth-inning duty Sunday with a fastball up to 101.8 mph.
