One Sentence Summary: Bryce Harper stayed red hot with a 4 for 4 night and Jesus Luzardo pitched a gem in this 7-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
What It Means: The Phillies go for the series sweep this afternoon. They now own sole possession of the top National League Wild Card spot and they're three back of the Braves in the division. The Phillies and Braves open a four game, Labor Day Weekend series at Citizens Bank Park on Friday.
What Happened: Luzardo's only blemish was a fifth inning solo home run allowed to Jordan Lawlar. He picked up his 13th win, allowing six hits and striking out six. Jonathan Bowlan and Chase Shugart handled the Diamondbacks over the final two innings. The Phillies manufactured runs throughout the game, with no home runs but 13 hits overall. Trea Turner started it off with an RBI double in the first and Luis Arraez grounded into a double play to score Turner, giving the Phillies a 2-0 lead. Alec Bohm added an RBI single in the fifth. Three more runs scored in the eighth, putting the game out of reach, when Justin Crawford contributed a pinch-hit single, Kyle Schwarber added a sac fly and Harper singled home Crawford. Bryson Stott scored another run with a sac fly in the ninth.
Featured Card: Harper is hitting .483 (15 for 31) on this West Coast trip, and he's reached base in a career-high 34 straight games. He's truly a . . . Big Ticket Player.
Transaction: Rosters expanded to 28 players, and the Phillies added Rafael Marchan (c) and Grant Holman (rhp). Holman was selected off waivers from the Tigers on May 7th, and he's pitched well for the IronPigs, going 3-0 with a 3.12 ERA in 26 innings pitched.
