Game 113 - Tuesday Afternoon, August 8th in Philadelphia
Record - 62-51
One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler recovered after a rough start and the Phillies offense hit four home runs in this 8-4 win over the Nationals.
What It Means: The double header was necessitated by the violent thunderstorms in the area last night, and the Phillies took game one.
What Happened: Wheeler was down 3-0 after 2 1/2 innings, but the Phillies would storm back. Kyle Schwarber and Alec Bohm went back-to-back in the third, with Johan Rojas on base for Schwarber's blast. Schwarber would strike again in the fourth with a three-run home run, his 30th of the season. It's the fifth time in his career Schwarber has crossed the 30-home run mark, having done it before in 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2022. Jake Cave capped the scoring with a two-run home run in the sixth, his second in the majors this season. Rojas had a pair of hits and made a leaping catch against the center field wall in the ninth inning.
Featured Card: Here's Schwarber's team-issued photo card from 2023.
Transaction: Luis Ortiz was recalled from Lehigh Valley to be the 27th man for the double header, and he ended up pitching two scoreless innings in relief.
