Game 107 - Tuesday Night, July 30th in Philadelphia
Record - 65-42, 1st Place, 7 1/2 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: In one of the more painful losses of the season, the Phillies couldn't keep rallying past the Yankees, losing 7-6 in 12 innings.
What It Means: It's really not going well.
What Happened: Aaron Nola pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing a pair of runs on seven hits, and departed with the Phillies holding a 4-2 lead. Matt Strahm allowed a three-run home run to Jazz Chisolm in the top of the seventh, giving the Yankees the lead. In the ninth, the Phillies battled back to tie the game when pinch-runner Johan Rojas scored on a wild pitch from Yankees' closer Clay Holmes. J.T. Realmuto and Bryson Stott had both singled to start the mini-rally. The Phillies loaded the bases in the 10th, but did not score. The Yankees took the lead in the top of the 11th, but the Phillies again rallied to tie the game when Austin Hays singled home ghost runner Stott in the bottom of the 11th. The Yankees pulled ahead for the final time in the top of the 12th against reliever Orion Kerkering, and the Phillies went down quietly in the bottom of the 12th.

Featured Cards/Transactions: Prior to this debacle, Dave Dombrowski pulled off two more deals before the 6pm trade deadline.
Tanner Banks (lhp) was acquired from the Chicago White Sox for prospect William Bergolla (inf). Banks is nearly unhittable when facing left-handed batters, and in 41 games and 48 innings with the White Sox this season, he had been 2-2 with a 4.13 ERA and a pair of saves. Bergolla was batting .295 with 18 stolen bases for high-A Jersey Shore.
Gregory Soto (lhp) was dealt to the Baltimore Orioles for pitching prospects Seth Johnson (rhp) and Moises Chace (rhp). The Phillies decided to move on from Soto, picking up two promising arms in the process. In 1 1/2 seasons and 112 games with the Phillies, Soto was 5-8 with a 4.42 ERA and five saves.
