28-27, 3rd Place, 9 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Aaron Nola's solid outing was supported by three solo home runs in the first three innings from Bryce Harper, Trea Turner and J.T. Realmuto in this 4-3 win.
What It Means: The Phillies would go for the series sweep on Wednesday afternoon, with Cristopher Sanchez on the mound looking to break the franchise's consecutive scoreless inning streak.
What Happened: Nola had his strongest start of the season, allowing two runs on three hits and striking out five over six innings. Jhoan Duran pitched a perfect ninth to notch his 11th save. Harper, Turner (batting second) and Realmuto launched their solo shots three innings in a row, and Edmundo Sosa would have joined them in the fourth with a solo home run had center fielder Jackson Merrill not robbed him with a leaping catch, bringing the ball back over the wall. Turner looked good batting second, hitting a 434-foot home run off the third deck in the third, snapping an 0 for 18 streak. He'd add a line-drive single in the fifth.
Featured Card: Hopefully Turner is turning the corner and his .225 average slowly starts to go up in the coming weeks.
