Stud: Brandon Marsh
The last stud listed here is the guy who hit the sixth and final home run of the night for Philadelphia, making MLB history in the process.
Brandon Marsh was already having a pretty good day when he stepped to the plate in the bottom of the eighth. He'd already singled, doubled and scored a run.
After Castellanos went deep for the second time, Marsh figured he might as well get in on the fun. He went back-to-back with Castellanos, extending Philly's lead to 10-2 and scoring the final run of the game.

Marsh finished the game 3-for-4, making him the only player on either side with 3 hits. He also fell a triple shy of the cycle.
When you get that type of production from your No. 8 hitter, good things tend to happen for the rest of your lineup.
