There is no official result for the Phillie Phanatic vs. Blooper boxing match to report. The mascot bout was billed for Tuesday, May 27, 2025, before the Braves played the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, and the game that night went to Philadelphia, 2-0.
This page keeps that night as the record. The mascots’ rivalry is a sideshow; the Phillies and Braves play each other every season in the NL East, and those games are where there is something to bet.

What was billed
Our original preview reported a rumored three-round bout between the two mascots at Citizens Bank Park before the game. The price we published had the Phanatic at -300 and Blooper at +200, and our pick was Blooper at +200.
A market like that sits in a sportsbook’s entertainment section, not its baseball board. With no official result, there is nothing to grade, and the pick stands as unsettled.
The game that night
Ranger Suarez threw six shutout innings for the Phillies, allowing four hits and striking out eight on 103 pitches. Orion Kerkering followed with a scoreless inning.
Bryce Harper left in the first inning after Spencer Strider hit him near the right elbow with a 95.3 mph fastball, ESPN reported; the Phillies said an X-ray was negative. Strider went 4 2/3 innings, gave up one run and struck out seven, and took the loss to fall to 0-3.
