Game 17 - Saturday Night, April 22nd in Philadelphia
Record - 8-9, 3rd place, 4 games behind the Nationals
One Sentence Summary: The Phils won a sloppy game against the Braves with a clutch two-run single from Maikel Franco in the 10th.
What It Means: It means the Phillies are a game under .500 and they'll go for the series sweep this afternoon. The Phillies also have their first three-game win streak since last July.
What Happened: Brought in to the game with a 2-1 lead, Edubray Ramos recorded the first two outs of the ninth before allowing a no-doubt-about-it solo home run to Brandon Phillips. The Braves took a 3-2 lead in the 10th thanks in part to throwing errors from Tommy Joseph and Franco.
In the bottom of the 10th, Franco delivered a two-out, bases loaded single off the right field wall to give the Phillies the 4-3 win.
Featured Card: This was Franco's first official walk-off hit, as his game winner back on August 3, 2016 was ruled a fielder's choice when Aaron Altherr failed to reach second base. This is his 1990 Donruss-inspired card from this year's Donruss release.
