One Sentence Summary: The Phillies held off the Dodgers in this 8-7 win, highlighted by Nick Castellanos' third inning grand slam.
What It Means: The two teams battled through a steady, cold mist with the Phillies ultimately prevailing late in this game. After winning the first three series of the season against the Nationals, Rockies and Dodgers, and Phillies travel to Atlanta for a set against the struggling Braves.
What Happened: Trailing 2-0 heading to the bottom of the third, the Phillies would plate six runs and chase Dodgers' starter Tyler Glasnow from the game. Bryce Harper singled home Rafael Marchan for the first run, and Glasnow later uncorked a wild pitch allowing the Phillies to tie the score, 2-2. Glasnow loaded the bases, exited the game, and Castellanos took the first pitch he saw from reliever Alex Vesia into the left field bleachers. It was Castellanos' first grand slam with the Phillies.

Jordan Romano's struggles continued as the Dodgers took a 7-6 lead in the seventh, scoring three runs on two hits and a walk off the reliever. But the Phillies came back in the bottom of the inning, when Harper laced a lead-off double and came home on a Bryson Stott single. Edmundo Sosa beat out a fielder's choice ground out with Max Kepler scoring the eventual winning run. Jose Alvarado pitched a clean ninth for his second save.
