Game 79 - Wednesday Night, June 28th in Chicago
Record - 42-37, 3rd Place, 10 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Nick Castellanos drove in half of his team's total runs, as the Phillies survived a shaky Aaron Nola outing, winning 8-5.
What It Means: The Phillies will go for a series sweep tonight in Chicago, and then head to Washington for a three-game series against the last place Nationals.
What Happened: Nola won his seventh game, but it wasn't easy. He departed after five innings, having allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks. The bullpen held down the fort, with Matt Strahm pitching two scoreless innings while striking out four. Edmundo Sosa hit a two-run home run in the second to start the scoring for the Phillies. Castellanos followed that with a three-run home run, his 10th of the season. Castellanos doubled home Kyle Schwarber in the fourth for his fourth RBI of the night.
Featured Card: Castellanos will hopefully accompany manager Rob Thomson on his trip to Seattle for the 2023 All-Star Game. His .314 average is currently fourth in the National League, and his 49 RBIs is 10th best. This is his 1953 Topps inspired Living Set card, issued earlier this year.

A quick note as we head into the holiday weekend: All staff and paid personnel from The Phillies Room will be taking some much-needed vacation time and live posting will resume upon our return at the All-Star Break.
