J.T. Realmuto provided some breathing room with a solo home run in the seventh and Edmundo Sosa contributed an RBI-double in the ninth. Carlos Estevez was a little wild in the ninth, but the new closer settled in and recorded his first save with the Phillies.
Featured Card: Realmuto has had an off-year offensively, but his home run last night, only his eighth of the season, came at a great time. Realmuto marked 10 years of big league service yesterday, a true milestone for one of the best catcher's in baseball.
