@FlameRaptorRaven's rating of Blue Jays vs Phillies

@FlameRaptorRaven rated the Blue Jays vs Phillies game 8.8 out of 10 in MLB on August 8, 2026. Final score: Blue Jays 7 – Phillies 5. Reg. Season. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“We got a great extra innings game to go along with a couple very notable pitching milestones, hard to be mad at that. The first and much less notable milestone was Aaron Nola reaching 2000 strikeouts, making him the 8th active pitcher to do so. A testament to his durability, ironic since he left this game with an injury. But of course, everyone will remember Max Scherzer officially claiming his spot in the top 10 for career strikeouts. Hopefully he won’t be the last to ever make it into that exclusive club, but it’s always cool to see someone reach that height. Especially since he achieved it against Kyle Schwarber of all people. As for the game itself, it started off looking like the Vladdy bounce back game, then became a Lukes legacy game. Vladdy scored the first runs to give Toronto a lead only to watch the pitching staff blow it. Giménez dragged the Blue Jays back into the game which gave us extras where they went back and forth before Lukes blasted the game winning 2-run homer.”
