Game 112 - Late Monday Night, August 5th in Los Angeles
Record - 66-46, 1st Place, 5 1/2 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies continued to scuffle, losing this late night game in Los Angeles thanks to a four-run third inning against Aaron Nola.
What It Means: I made it to the second inning, suspecting the narrow 2-0 lead held by the Phillies might not hold. I was correct.
What Happened: Nick Castellanos tripled in the top of the second and was singled home by Bryson Stott. An Austin Hays single moved Stott to third, and he'd score on a Tyler Glasnow wild pitch. Glasnow settled down after that. In the third, Nola gave up a pair of doubles to open the inning, a sacrifice fly to Shohei Ohtani and a two-run home run to Teoscar Hernandez, giving the Dodgers a 4-2 lead. Ohtani homered in the eighth, his 34th of the season, off Tanner Banks, essentially putting the game out of reach.

Freddie Freeman returned to the Dodgers' line-up following a serious illness to his son, receiving a lengthy and emotional standing ovation from the fans.
