One Sentence Summary: Alec Bohm and Trea Turner busted out of their slumps in a big way as the Phillies easily dismantled the Rockies, 9-3.
What It Means: They'll go for the series win this afternoon, and then head out on a six-game road trip against the Red Sox and Pirates.
What Happened: Aaron Nola was the beneficiary of the run support, but he couldn't stick around long enough to earn the win. Nola gave up three runs on six hits and a pair of walks before being lifted for Tim Mayza with two outs in the fifth. Tanner Banks, Chase Shugart and Orion Kerkering shut the Rockies down for the rest of the game.

Turner has been mired in a season-long slump after winning the batting title, and went 0 for 6 on Friday. He went 4 for 5 in this game. Kyle Schwarber hit a three-run home run in the five-run third inning. Bryce Harper left the game after the first inning with a migraine and his replacement, Felix Reyes, went 0 for 4 as his average dropped to .139.
Featured Card: Bohm was essentially benched Thursday and Friday, and in his first at-bat back in the line-up, he hit a solo home run to left. He'd connect again with another solo shot to lead off the fourth. Still not done, Bohm added a two-run double in the eighth.
