6-2, 1st Place, 1 game ahead of the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The long ball once again hurt Aaron Nola and the Phillies' offense couldn't solve Roki Sasaki in this 3-1 loss to the Dodgers.
What It Means: The Phillies will attempt another series win this afternoon behind Cristopher Sanchez.
What Happened: Sasaki only pitched four innings, allowing a run on three hits while striking out four. The Phillies scored in the first inning after Kyle Schwarber led off the game with a single, went to third when Trea Turner singled to right and came home on an Alec Bohm ground out. The offense wouldn't have another hit until Bryson Stott singled in the fifth, and then they'd have another offensive dry spell until Bryce Harper singled to lead off the ninth.

Nola took the loss, dropping to 0-2, allowing a two-run home run to Enrique Hernandez in the second and a solo home run to Michael Conforto in the sixth. Nola allowed seven hits overall, a walk and he struck out a pair.
Featured Card: 38-year-old Luis Garcia pitched out of the Dodgers' bullpen against the Phillies on Friday night, shutting down the offense for 1 1/3 innings. I had no idea the former Phillies' reliever was still pitching, and this is his thirteenth season in the majors. He's bounced around a bunch, pitching with the Phillies (2013-18), Angels (2019), Rangers (2020), Cardinals (2021), Padres (2022-23), Angels again (2024), Red Sox (2024) and now the Dodgers (2025). Way back in 2018, he was included in the Topps Phillies retail team set, and I haven't seen any sign (yet) of these sets returning for 2025.
