One Sentence Summary: Bryce Harper's three-run home run supported Taijuan Walker's solid start as the Phils hung on to beat the Giants, 5-4.
What It Means: The Phillies have won 16 of their last 19, something they haven't done since September 2010.
What Happened: Walker was hit hard in the first inning, but only gave up a run. The Phillies responded in the second when Alec Bohm reached on an error and came home on an infield hit by Edmundo Sosa. Harper hit his blast, his seventh of the season, in the third inning with Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto on base. Bryson Stott would later double home the Phillies' fifth run. Bohm doubled in the seventh to extend his hitting streak to 18 games.

Field Report: We watched the weather reports most of the day, hoping the forecasted rain would stay away, and for the most part it did. The four of us watched from the Diamond Club as Harper connected for his big home run, and after having decided on Shake Shack for dinner. Jenna donned her new pink Phillies bucket hat, the giveaway for this game. Three more cards were added to the team-issued Kids Club set, giving us eight total and 13 to go.
