Game 150 - Monday Night, September 18th in Atlanta
Record - 82-68, 2nd Place, 14 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: On the strength of five home runs, including a 483-foot moonshot from Kyle Schwarber, the Phillies defeated the Braves, 7-1.
What It Means: The Phillies are creeping closer to clinching a postseason berth for the second straight season.
What Happened: The home runs from the Phillies offense came early and often. Johan Rojas hit a two-run home run in the second, his first career home run against an actual pitcher and not a position player. Bryce Harper, J.T. Realmuto and Nick Castellanos hit solo home runs in the third, fourth and sixth innings, putting the Phils up, 5-1. With Brandon Marsh aboard, Schwarber launched his monster home run, giving the Phillies a commanding 7-1 lead.
