One Sentence Summary: The Phillies plated six first inning runs, highlighted by back-to-back home runs from Trea Turner and Bryce Harper, in this 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.
What It Means: The four-game losing streak is over, Harper is back in the line-up, and the Phillies hope to start a new and lengthy winning streak.
What Happened: The Phillies jumped on Blue Jays' starting pitcher Bowden Francis early, scoring seven runs in the first two innings. Bryson Stott walked on four pitches to begin the game, with Turner then hitting his first home run of the night. Harper, wearing a bulky guard over his bruised elbow, marked his return with his ninth home run following Turner's blast. Additional runs scored on a Max Kepler RBI single and a two-run single from Stott, as the Phillies batted around. Turner added a solo home run in the eighth.

Cristopher Sanchez was the beneficiary of the run support, picking up his fifth win. The lefty allowed a run on four hits in his six innings of work.
Featured Card: Turner went from being the goat in Sunday's loss to the hero in this victory. To date, I've collected 10 of the 19 cards currently available at the ballpark as part of Kids Club/Club 215 membership, including this Turner card.
