Tuesday Night, April 15th
Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA
10-7, 2nd Place, 1 game behind the Mets

One Sentence Summary:  The Phillies battled back late, receiving clutch hits from J.T. Realmuto and Alec Bohm in this 6-4 win over the Giants.

What It Means:  Two more games with the Giants remain before the Marlins come to Philly for the weekend.

What Happened:  Jesus Luzardo faced off against future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander, with Luzardo finishing with a slightly better line score.  Luzardo allowed three runs on five hits and a pair of walks while striking out four in 5 1/3 innings.  Verlander took the loss and went 5 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits, three walks.

J.T. Realmuto homered in the second and Brandon Marsh, mired in a lengthy 0-fer, hit a sacrifice fly to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead.  The Giants tied the score in the fourth and took a one-run lead in the sixth.  In the bottom of the sixth, Realmuto singled home Kyle Schwarber to tie the game again.  Bohm later singled to left to score Nick Castellanos and give the Phillies a 4-3 lead.  Bryce Harper added a two-run home run in the seventh.  Matt Strahm worked a perfect ninth to record his first save of the season.

Featured Card:  Bohm and Marsh are both suffering through horrendous slumps, so it was great to see them both contribute to this win.  Here's Bohm's team-issued card, available to members of the Kids Club or Club 215 at their Ashburn Alley kiosk throughout the season.

Field Report:  Jenna and I were there, sitting in the very cold and very windy Section 204.  The vantage from right field afforded some fantastic views of the sunset, but we could have done without the gusty (and did I mention cold) winds.  Dinner was once again enjoyed at Pass at Stow prior to the game.
