Game 111 - Sunday Afternoon, August 4th in Seattle
Record - 66-45, 1st Place, 6 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies' offense finally showed some life, and Zack Wheeler threw eight shutout innings in this 6-0 win over the Mariners.
What It Means: The six-game losing streak is over, and the Phillies will next head to Dodger Stadium to try to continue their new winning streak.
What Happened: Kyle Schwarber set the tone with a lead-off home run, his 23rd home run of the season. Logan Gilbert and Wheeler were locked in a pitcher's duel, with no more runs scoring until a big five-run eighth inning from the Phillies. Bryson Stott led off the inning with a home run off new Mariners' reliever Yimi Garcia. After recording two outs and walking Trea Turner, Garcia was replaced by Tayler Saucedo who gave up a much-needed two-run home run to Bryce Harper, making it 4-0, Phillies. Saucedo quickly allowed another home run to Alec Bohm before he too exited. Finally, with Brandon Marsh on second, J.T. Realmuto came through with a clutch single to give the Phillies a 6-0 cushion.

Schwarber and Harper, who had been locked in awful slumps, each had three-hit games. Brandon Marsh made an unbelievably lucky catch, having lost the ball in the sun, sticking out his glove at the last moment, and having the ball miraculously land in his glove.
Featured Card: Wheeler understood the assignment, limiting the Mariners to two hits and striking out nine in his eight innings of work.
