Game 21 - Friday Night, April 21st in Philadelphia
Record - 9-12, 4th Place, 5 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Down 3-0 in the first inning, the Phillies mounted an impressive comeback and won this game, 4-3, thanks to an Edmundo Sosa RBI-single in the eighth.
What It Means: Hopefully this is the momentum swing the team needs, and they can win the next two games against the struggling Rockies.
What Happened: Aaron Nola allowed a three-run home run to Ryan McMahon in the first inning, but then settled down to pitch six scoreless innings. He'd allow just four hits overall and only one hit between the second and seventh innings. Seranthony Dominguez and Jose Alvarado kept the Rockies scoreless over the final two frames, with Alvarado saving his third game.

The comeback started in the fourth when Nick Castellanos scored from third on a balk. Jake Cave singled home Brandon Marsh for the Phillies' second run later that inning. In the seventh, Kyle Schwarber tied it up with a solo home run, his fifth of the season, to right. In the eighth, off former Phillie Brad Hand, J.T. Realmuto doubled to start the inning, stole third base and came home on Sosa's big hit.
