Game 132 - Tuesday Night, August 27th in Philadelphia
Record - 78-54, 1st Place, 6 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Aaron Nola, Jose Ruiz and Tanner Banks combined for a six-hit shutout and Nick Castellanos launched a three-run home run in this 5-0 win over the Astros.
What It Means: The Phillies would go for the series sweep on Wednesday afternoon, but it would not go well.
What Happened: Nola won his 12th game, giving up four hits and striking out six. A four-run third inning was highlighted by Castellanos' big swing, scoring Trea Turner and Bryce Harper. The Phillies had scored their first run when Austin Hays doubled to lead off the inning, and Turner singled him home. An unneeded insurance run was added in the seventh on an Alec Bohm RBI-double to score Hays. The Phillies' offense had 11 hits overall.
Featured Card: Castellanos has been quietly consistent in August, batting .292 for the month through this game with six doubles, a triple and three home runs.
Transaction: In a few minor moves, Dylan Covey (rhp) was activated from the 60-day injured list, cleared waivers, and was outrighted to Lehigh Valley. David Buchanan (rhp) was traded to the Cincinnati Reds for cash considerations. Buchanan, who last pitched for the Phillies in 2015, had been 9-3 with a 4.82 ERA in 22 games and 102 2/3 innings pitched for the IronPigs.
