Game 62 - Tuesday Night, June 4th in Philadelphia
Record - 43-19, 1st Place, 7 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Cristopher Sanchez continued his solid season and Nick Castellanos drove in the winning run in the 10th inning, as the Phillies downed the Brewers, 2-1.
What It Means: They'll go for a series sweep this afternoon before boarding planes bound for London.
What Happened: Sanchez allowed a run on four hits over six innings of work. The bullpen quartet of Jose Ruiz, Orion Kerkering, Matt Strahm and Seranthony Dominguez successfully navigated the Brewers line-up, shutting them down over the final four innings.

Alec Bohm made a fantastic play at third base (or two) in what seemed to be every inning of this game. J.T. Realmuto was also impressive behind the plate, making several game-saving plays. With Elvis Peguero on the mound for the Brewers, Bohm tied it up in the eighth with a solo home run to center. In the bottom of the 10th, with ghost/pinch-runner Whit Merrifield on second base, Nick Castellanos lined the first pitch he saw to right field for a game-winning double.
Featured Card: Strahm walked a tightrope in the ninth inning, allowing two singles to start the frame but then retiring three in a row to keep the game tied. I don't have many excuses to feature cards of the relievers, so I'll give Strahm the card here. This is his card from the ballpark-exclusive Kids Club set.
Transaction: Jose Rodriguez (inf), who had been on the 40-man roster, was suspended for a year for activities related to betting on baseball. He's now on the Restricted List and the Phillies have an open spot on the 40-man roster.

Field Report: The four of us attended this game, primarily so that we could join the assembled crowd in welcoming back Rhys Hoskins. It's very strange seeing him in a blue uniform, wearing #12.
