Game 83 - Tuesday Night, July 6th in Chicago
Record - 41-42, 2nd Place, 4 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies greeted former teammate Jake Arrieta with extreme rudeness, chasing the Cubs starter in the second inning and going on to a 15-10 win.
What It Means: Per this Todd Zolecki Tweet, this is the first time the Phillies have scored 13+ runs in consecutive games since April 26-27, 2009.
What Happened: Aaron Nola was the beneficiary of the offensive outburst, and he went six innings, allowing four runs on six hits while striking out eight. Andrew McCutchen hit a first inning grand slam off Arrieta, and both Rhys Hoskins and Bryce Harper would homer later in the game. Harper went 5 for 6 with four RBIs, with Hoskins going 3 for 5 with four RBIs of his own. Jean Segura enjoyed a four-hit night to raise his season average to .330.
Featured Card: This game is a good excuse to feature this card, especially with both Harper and Hoskins heating up at the same time.
