One Sentence Summary: The Phillies set a franchise record by hitting eight home runs in a game, led by Edmundo Sosa's amazing three home run performance in this 11-1 trouncing of the Marlins.
What It Means: Good vibes all around. Records were set and the Phillies officially clinched a first round bye in the postseason. They'll host the Dodgers, Mets or Reds in Game 1 of the NLDS on October 4th.
What Happened: Jesus Luzardo was the beneficiary of the run support, picking up his team-leading 15th win while striking out ten. He now has 216 strikeouts for the season, tied for the league lead, and a personal career best. The record setting home runs started in the third when Kyle Schwarber hit a solo shot, his 55th of the season. In the fourth, Edmundo Sosa hit the first of his trio, followed a few batters later by Bryson Stott's 13th home run of the year, to give the Phillies a 3-1 lead.

Sosa hit his second of the game in the fifth. In the seventh, the Phillies put the game out of reach when Schwarber and Bohm went back-to-back. Nick Castellanos reached on an error, and then Otto Kemp and Sosa went back-to-back. Marlins' reliever Valente Bellozo was on the mound for all four seventh inning home runs. Schwarber's 56 home runs are two behind Ryan Howard for the most by a Phillies player in a single season. Sosa became the first Phillies shortstop with three home runs in a game.
Featured Card: A highlight card was definitely needed, and I'm disappointed Topps didn't use this photo for a Topps Now card.
Transaction: Sosa (inf) was activated from the injured list and Donovan Walton (inf) was designated for assignment. I think Sosa is healthy!
