Game 137 - Sunday Night, September 1st in Philadelphia
Record - 81-56, 1st Place, 7 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Nick Castellanos tied the game in the sixth and won the game in the 11th in this clutch win against the second place Braves.
What It Means: The Phillies took three out of four from their division rivals, adding to their lead, and marching closer to clinching the National League East pennant. After an off-day on Labor Day, they'll play two quick games in Toronto before heading to Miami for four games.
What Happened: Aaron Nola pitched six solid innings, allowing a pair of runs on four hits, while striking out nine. Trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the sixth, against the seemingly unhittable Spencer Schwellenbach, Trea Turner singled and Bryce Harper doubled with two outs. Castellanos fell behind 0-2 and then doubled to left to score both runners and tie the score. Elite bullpen work from Orion Kerkering, Jeff Hoffman, Matt Strahm and Carlos Estevez followed, with Estevez contributing two scoreless innings.

In the bottom of the 11th, with Kody Clemens at second base as the ghost runner, a Harper groundout moved Clemens to third. Again with two outs, and two strikes against him, Castellanos lined a single to center to score Clemens and begin the on-field celebration.
Featured Card: It's been great this season to feature so many Castellanos cards, and here's his Topps flagship card.
Transactions: Jose Alvarado (lhp) was activated from the restricted list and Yunior Marte (rhp) was sent back down to the IronPigs. With active roster sizes expanding to 28, the Phillies added Clemens (inf) and Tyler Phillips (rhp).
