Game 65 - Sunday Afternoon, June 11th in Philadelphia
Record - 32-33, 3rd Place, 8 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Taijuan Walker threw five solid innings and the Phillies offense produced a few clutch hits in this 7-3 win over the Dodgers.
What It Means: The Phillies won the series, and they've now won seven of their last eight games. They'll open a four game series in Phoenix against the Diamondbacks late Monday night.
What Happened: Walker would earn the win, but he looked unhappy to be leaving the game, after getting pulled seemingly early by manager Rob Thomson. With 83 pitches, he allowed a pair of hits and struck out five. The bullpen kept the Dodgers at bay long enough to get to Craig Kimbrel who pitched a perfect ninth.

There were a bunch of important hits in this game, but the biggest two were probably Bryson Stott's two-run single in the third to give the Phillies a 3-0 lead, and Nick Castellanos' two-run home run in the seventh to give the bullpen some breathing room.
Featured Card: It's kind of nice when there's no clear cut player for a featured card in a win. The TV broadcast interviewed Bryce Harper as the star of the game, on the strength of him reaching base in four plate appearances (two singles, two walks) and a first inning sacrifice fly. I'll give the card to Castellanos as his home run put this game seemingly out of reach. This is another Phillies Kids Club card, available exclusively at the ballpark.
Transaction: Alec Bohm (3b) was activated from the Injured List and Drew Ellis (inf) was optioned back down to Lehigh Valley.
