This game was streamed exclusively on Peacock, and we watched briefly from the beach whenever the app decided to cooperate . . . which wasn't often.
What Happened: Falter labored through five innings, allowing four runs on five hits, including three home runs. Nick Nelson, Corey Knebel and Jeurys Familia did their jobs with three scoreless innings of relief, but the offense couldn't string together any meaningful hits. Alec Bohm, paying penance for his shoddy defense at third the night before, had three hits. Garrett Stubbs hit a solo home run in the eighth.
Featured Card: Per lightning rod reporter Matt Gelb via Twitter, the Phillies were swept at home by the Cubs for the first time since July 2000. The losing pitchers in that series were Chris Brock, Paul Byrd and Vicente Padilla.
