One Sentence Summary: J.T. Realmuto took his turn beating up Rockies' pitching and Taijuan Walker had another solid effort in this 9-5 win.
What It Means: A win on Thursday afternoon would give the Phillies a four-game sweep of the Rockies, still searching for their ninth win of the season.
What Happened: Once again the Phillies jumped on the scoreboard early, with Trea Turner opening the game with a single, moving to second when Bryce Harper singled, stealing third base and scoring on a throwing error by catcher Hunter Goodman. Harper would score next on a Nick Castellanos sacrifice fly, making it 2-0, Phillies. Turner and Harper connected for back-to-back home runs to lead off the third, and Realmuto's two-run double later in the inning gave the Phillies a 6-2 lead. Realmuto added to the barrage with a two-run home run in the sixth.
