Game 139 - Thursday Afternoon, September 5th in Cincinnati
Record - 72-66, 3rd place, 13 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Phillip Ervin hit a walk-off winning home run off Nick Vincent to send the Phillies to an extra-inning 4-3 loss.
What It Means: What a disappointing series. The Phillies could have come away having won three out of four, or even sweeping, but they come away with a series split. They'll head to Citi Field next for a weekend series against the Mets, who remain a game behind them in the standings.
What Happened: J.T. Realmuto hit a solo home run in the eighth to tie the game at 3-3. The Phillies offense went 2 for 11 with runners in scoring position, with a big clutch hit eluding them for most of the afternoon.
Featured Card: There are 22 games remaining, I'm frustrated by the Phillies and I'm running out of steam. Here's a card of current Reds manager David Bell.
Transactions: Maikel Franco was recalled from Lehigh Valley, bringing the active roster to 34 players.
