Game 30 - Tuesday Night, May 4th in Philadelphia
Record - 15-15, 1st Place, 1/2 game ahead of the Mets and Nationals
One Sentence Summary: Andrew McCutchen hit a pair of home runs and Sam Coonrod recorded a five-out save in this nerve-wracking 6-5 win over the Brewers.
What It Means: The Phillies have won two games in a row for the first time since April 5th and the first four games of the season.
What Happened: Like Zack Wheeler before him, Aaron Nola labored through the first inning but then settled in to not allow another run. Nola gave up five hits while striking out ten over six innings of work. The bullpen depleted, and not helped by the line-up card snafu - see below, Coonrod was called on for the two-inning save. He allowed a pair of singles in the ninth but retired Jackie Bradley, Jr. for his second save of the year.
Along with McCutchen's blasts, Brad Miller added a three-run home run in the third, which was preceded by an RBI-single from Didi Gregorius.
Featured Card: Hopefully McCutchen has found his swing and his two home runs give him four so far this season and raised his average to .191.
Transaction: Prior to the game, Cristopher Sanchez (lhp) was optioned to Lehigh Valley and Enyel De Los Santos (rhp) had his contract selected. De Los Santos would have pitched in the seventh inning of this game, except that his name was omitted from the team's line-up card submitted to the umpires and Brewers' manager Craig Counsell. It was a horrible mistake that could have led to disaster as David Hale entered the game instead and allowed a pair of singles, and hit a batter before being relieved by JoJo Romero.
