One Sentence Summary: The Phillies scored seven runs over the final two innings and Kyle Schwarber hit his 300th career home run in this 9-3 win over the Rockies.
What It Means: This win and a Mets loss pushed the Phillies into sole possession of first place for the first time since April 9th.
What Happened: Cristopher Sanchez got the start and allowed three runs on five hits, while striking out seven over six innings. He departed with his team trailing, 3-1. Down 3-2 heading to the eighth, the Phillies would score four times in the eighth and three more times in the ninth. Alec Bohm hit a two-run home run, his third of the season, to give the Phillies a 4-3 lead. Trea Turner plated two more with an RBI-double later in the inning. Schwarber hit his moonshot, a 466 foot blast to right field and the third longest home run so far this season, to lead off the ninth, becoming the 11th active player to reach the 300 home run plateau. Edmundo Sosa would cap the scoring with a two-run home run before the Rockies escaped the inning.
Featured Card: Here's the Topps Now card issued to celebrate Schwarber's milestone.
Transaction: As was the plan, Mick Abel (rhp) was optioned down to Lehigh Valley following his big league debut, and Max Lazar (rhp) was recalled to provide bullpen assistance.
