Game 32 - Wednesday Afternoon, May 3rd in Los Angeles
Record - 15-17, 4th Place, 6 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Max Muncy hit a walk-off, game-winning grand slam off Craig Kimbrel to give the Dodgers the win and the series sweep.
What It Means: This was an ugly series, and an ugly way to start the month. The Phillies come home on Friday for a weekend series against the Red Sox.
What Happened: Our oldest son Doug's high school baseball game also started at 4pm, so we thankfully missed almost this entire Phillies game. By the time I tuned in, the Phillies were holding on to a 5-4 lead, and at one point had led 5-0. Bryson Stott had a sacrifice fly in the first, and four runs scored in the third on hits from Nick Castellanos, Alec Bohm, Edmundo Sosa and Garrett Stubbs. But Aaron Nola let the Dodgers creep back into the game, and his final line showed four runs allowed on seven hits in 6 1/3 innings.

Jose Alvarado came on in the eighth to try to hold off the Dodgers, and he couldn't do it. With runners on second and third and two outs, Austin Barnes lined what should have been the third out of the inning to Sosa, but Sosa completely missed it as it fell into left field. Two runs scored, giving the Dodgers a 6-5 lead. The Phillies would tie it up in the ninth on a Bryson Stott single, but Kimbrel could only retire one batter in the ninth before Muncy's game-winning slam.
Featured Card: This game gave me nothing, so here's a favorite card of mine from my 1983 Phillies binder. I've worked my way through my Phillies cards from the 1970s for my TCDB.com collection, and I'm through 1982 as I dive into the 1980s. In happier times, the Phillies defeated the Dodgers in four games in the 1983 NLCS.
