Phillies 8
, Blue Jays 4
Game 36 - Tuesday Night, May 9th in Philadelphia
Record - 17-19, Tied for 3rd Place, 8 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  The Phillies kept adding runs throughout this game to beat the Blue Jays, 8-4.

What It Means:  That's a two-game winning streak, and a sign of good things.

What Happened:  The Phillies trailed only once in this game, falling behind 1-0 when Aaron Nola surrendered a two-run double to Bo Bichette in the third.  Nick Castellanos put the Phillies ahead for good with a two-run home run in the fourth, his fifth of the year.  Fortunately, the runs kept coming with Trea Turner singling home Brandon Marsh in the fifth, J.T. Realmuto adding a sacrifice fly in the sixth and Edmundo Sosa singling home Alec Bohm in the sixth.  Three more runs scored in the eighth, with a two-run double from Marsh the key blow.

Nola secured the win with six solid innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out six.  It wasn't a save situation, but Craig Kimbrel pitched a perfect ninth.

Featured Card:  Castellanos was 3 for 4 in this game with two runs scored and two RBIs.  Here's his card from the Topps Phillies retail team set, a preview of what his Series Two card will likely be.
