Game 139 - Wednesday Afternoon, September 4th in Toronto
Record - 83-56, 1st Place, 7 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Long balls again led to the win as Kyle Schwarber, Kody Clemens and J.T. Realmuto all homered in this 4-2 victory.
What It Means: The Phillies swept the quick two-game series in Toronto, and they're now off to Miami for a four-game weekend set.
What Happened: Cristopher Sanchez had a rocky first inning, allowing three straight doubles, but he'd settle down to pitch seven innings and strike out seven on the way to his 10th win. Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez slammed the door on the Marlins, with Estevez earning his fourth save with the Phillies.

Schwarber continued his torrid pace with yet another lead-off home run, his 13th of the season. That ties the mark set by Alfonso Soriano in 2003, and Schwarber will hopefully blow past that mark over the final month of the season. Clemens gave the Phillies the lead with a two-run home run in the second, and Realmuto added some insurance with solo home run in the ninth. Brandon Marsh was 3 for 3 with a double.
Featured Card: Estevez has been extremely impressive since being acquired from the Angels at the trade deadline. He's got a 1.72 ERA in 14 appearances and 15 2/3 innings pitched so far, with 16 strikeouts. He doesn't have any Phillies cards yet, but here's his Angels card from Topps Series Two.
Transaction: Nick Nelson (rhp) had his contract selected from Lehigh Valley and Tyler Phillips (rhp) was optioned down. Michael Rucker (rhp) was designated for assignment to make room for Nelson on the 40-man roster.
