Game 148 - Wednesday Night, September 21st in Philadelphia
Record - 81-67, 3rd Place, 12 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies won in dramatic fashion, as Matt Vierling capped a 5 for 5 night with a walk-off RBI single to win the ballgame.
What It Means: This was a huge win for the team, snapping a dreadful five-game losing streak and hopefully getting them back on course for the postseason.
What Happened: Zack Wheeler returned from the injured list, throwing four scoreless innings and allowing just a pair of hits. Noah Syndergaard, relegated to the bullpen, piggybacked off Wheeler's start with two scoreless innings of his own. Once again, it was Seranthony Dominguez who struggled out of the bullpen, as he allowed a three-run home run to Vladimir Guerrero in the top of the eighth. The Phillies came back with three runs of their own in the bottom of the inning, including a solo home run from J.T. Realmuto and RBI singles from Dalton Guthrie and Kyle Schwarber.

In the 10th inning, with pinch-runner Yairo Munoz as the ghost runner, Bryson Stott sacrificed Munoz to third. Vierling then drove him home with a chopper to center field, starting the on-field celebration.
Featured Card: I saw a couple of great Tweets from @BoopStats putting Vierling's big night in perspective. First, he's only the fourth National League player with five hits out of the ninth spot in the line-up. Second, he's the third Phillies player since 1901 with a five-hit game that included a walk-off RBI. Vierling joins Del Ennis (1950) and Milt Thompson (1987) in that very exclusive club.
Transaction: Wheeler (rhp) was activated from the injured list and Sam Coonrod (rhp) was optioned to Lehigh Valley.
