64-48, 1st Place, 1 1/2 games ahead of the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies banged out six home run, including two monster shots from Kyle Schwarber, in this 13-3 thrashing of the Orioles.
What It Means: Let's hope this sudden hot streak continues!
What Happened: Jesus Luzardo was the beneficiary of the run support, improving to 10-5 and allowing three runs on five hits over six innings of work. Luzardo struck out seven. Bryce Harper (solo in the first), Schwarber (two-run in the third, grand slam in the sixth), Harrison Bader (three-run in the sixth), Edmundo Sosa (solo in the eighth) and Weston Wilson (solo in the eighth) all homered for the Phillies. It was Bader's first hit with the Phillies. Sosa enjoyed a three-hit night.
Featured Card: Schwarber's grand slam was his 40th home run of the season, making him the fastest to reach the 40-home run mark in franchise history. Ryan Howard, who hit 58 home runs in 2006, hit his 40th in that year's 114th game. Schwarber reached the mark in the Phillies' 112th game, and Topps Now issued a card to commemorate the feat.
