Game 33 - Friday Night, May 3rd in Philadelphia
Record - 22-11, 1st Place, 1/2 game ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Head's up base running from Trea Turner ultimately won the game but will cost Turner some playing time as the Phillies won the series opener over the Giants, 4-3.
What It Means: In the fourth, Turner singled, stole second and came around to score from second after ball four to Bryce Harper got by catcher Tom Murphy. Turner's dash from second on the passed ball scored the eventual winning run, but will cost him six weeks with a hamstring injury suffered on the play.

And for the first time since April 11, 2022, the Phillies are in sole possession of first place with a half game lead over the Braves.
What Happened: Aaron Nola, perhaps struggling after an extra day of rest, labored through four innings, allowing a pair of runs in the first inning after issuing four walks. The bullpen was solid though, and Jose Alvarado closed things out to earn his sixth save. Alec Bohm had an RBI single in the third, followed quickly by a two-run single from Brandon Marsh.
Featured Card: Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for Turner, and it's likely Edmundo Sosa sees extra action and Bryson Stott moves back over to shortstop occasionally in the short-term while Turner recovers.

Field Report: Jenna, Ben and Jenna's parents took in this game from the Diamond Club, getting their first look at the City Connect jerseys in person. They stopped by the Kids Club kiosk pregame, adding three more cards to our Kids Club/Club 215 baseball card set. Five down, 16 to go.
Transaction: On Thursday, it was announced Ricardo Pinto (rhp) had cleared waivers and was outrighted to Lehigh Valley. Pinto refused the assignment and became a free agent. Before this game, Yunior Marte (rhp) was placed on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation and Jose Ruiz (rhp) had his contract selected. Ruiz appeared in 34 games with the Diamondbacks last season and he's a veteran of seven seasons, spending most of his time with the White Sox.
