Game 92 - Sunday Afternoon, July 18th in Philadelphia
Record - 47-45, 2nd Place, 2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler struggled, but the Phillies mounted an impressive come-from-behind effort in this 7-4 win over the Marlins.
What It Means: The Phillies find themselves two games out of first place after taking three of four from the Marlins. Since the calendar turned to July, their record is 9-4. Following an off-day Monday, they'll play a quick two-game set at Yankee Stadium.
What Happened: Wheeler allowed four runs in a long third inning and the Phillies were faced with a 4-2 deficit. Andrew McCutchen and Didi Gregorius hit solo home runs in the fifth to tie the score. The Phillies played some small ball in the sixth to take the lead. Travis Jankowski singled and advanced to second on a Jorge Alfaro passed ball. Brad Miller singled Jankowski to third, and the hirsute runner scored the go-ahead run on a Jean Segura sac fly. Miller would ultimately score after a single, a walk and a force out that McCutchen beat out to spoil the double play. J.T. Realmuto added an RBI single in the eighth - his third hit of the game.
Featured Card: There were a lot of contributors to this win, but it was nice to see Hector Neris pitch a clean ninth inning for his 12th save. Neris has lost the closer's role to Ranger Suarez, but with Suarez needing a day off, Neris got the ball and struck out a pair.
Transaction: Since the Phillies and Marlins were technically playing two games on Sunday, including the resumption of Saturday night's suspended game, they were allowed to add a 27th man to the roster. The Phillies recalled Mauricio Llovera (rhp) for the day.
