Game 126 - Wednesday Night, August 21st in Atlanta
Record - 74-52, 1st Place, 7 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: With the offense still scuffling, the Phillies manufactured a trio of runs in this much-needed 3-2 win over the Braves.
What It Means: They'd go for the series win on Thursday night but (spoiler alert) fall short.
What Happened: Aaron Nola battled through 5 1/3 innings, allowing a pair of runs on eight hits, including a two-run home run to Orlando Arcia in the fourth inning. The Phillies tied it up in the sixth, when Edmundo Sosa led off with a single, went to third on Johan Rojas' double and scored on a Kyle Schwarber groundout. Rojas would cross the plate on a Trea Turner sacrifice fly. In the eighth, Weston Wilson led off with a double and advanced twice on sacrifice flies from Bryson Stott and Brandon Marsh. Carlos Estevez made it interesting in the ninth, but induced a game-inning ground out to first from Whit Merrifield with the tying run on third, to end the game.
Featured Card: Wilson has been one of the lone bright spots in the Phillies line-up the last few weeks, and he was 2 for 3 while scoring the winning run in this game. He was batting .362 following this game and up to this point was batting .579 (11 for 19) with three doubles, a triple and a home run in August.
