Game 88 - Friday Night, July 5th in Atlanta
Record - 58-30, 1st Place, 10 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Trea Turner had his second multi-home run game this week and Aaron Nola battled through six innings for his 100th career victory in this 8-6 win over the Braves.
What It Means: The Phillies extended their lead in the division to 10 games, and they'll hope to make it a few more games this weekend.
What Happened: Nola struck out eight but gave up home runs to Austin Riley and Ozzie Albies before yielding to the bullpen in the seventh. Jose Alvarado gave up a three-run home run in the eighth to Marcell Ozuna, but Jeff Hoffman was perfect in the ninth, recording his eighth save.

Turner hit his first home run in the fourth inning, a two-run shot with Bryson Stott on base, making it 3-0 Phillies on top. His second home run, also with Stott on board, gave the Phillies a 5-2 lead. The Phillies scored three more runs in the seventh mostly due to hustle and sloppy play from the Braves defense.
Featured Card: Nola hit a milestone with his 100th career win, but Turner paced the offense, going 2 for 5 with four RBIs. The starting shortstop for the National League All-Stars raised his average to .341, and the vibrations right now are good.
Transaction: Yunior Marte (rhp) was optioned to Lehigh Valley and Tyler Phillips (rhp) had his contract selected. Phillips, from local high school Bishop Eustace, was drafted by the Rangers in 2015 and he's battled ever since to get to the majors. To make room for Phillips on the 40-man roster, Luis F. Ortiz (rhp) was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

The Phillies are having a strange year. With all the injuries. Does not feel like 2008 but could be their year.
