One Sentence Summary: Aaron Nola continued to shake off his early season cobwebs and won his first game backed by home runs from Max Kepler and J.T. Realmuto.
What It Means: The Phillies have won six of their last seven games and go for the series sweep this afternoon as Ranger Suarez makes his season debut.
What Happened: Nola scattered four hits and a walk over his six innings of work, striking out eight Diamondback batters. The Phillies jumped on 2023 NLCS nemesis Brandon Pfaadt for seven runs (six earned), chasing the pitcher in the fifth inning. Kepler hit a two-run home run in the second, a laser line drive to right. J.T. Realmuto doubled, Alec Bohm singled and Brandon Marsh doubled home Realmuto to give the Phillies a 3-0 lead. Realmuto added a three-run home run in the third as the rain intensified.
Featured Card: This is Kepler's first, and to date only, Phillies baseball card. 18 cards were available to collect at the ballpark with a membership to the Phillies Kids Club or Club 215 through the first month of the season, and last night I was pleasantly surprised to see the addition of a Kepler card to raise the total cards in the set to 19. Still no sign of a Jesus Luzardo card, which hopefully changes soon.

Field Report: We attended this game with family and had a great night in spite of the steady rain throughout the middle of the game. The Phanatic paid our section a visit in the sixth inning and we watched a few pitches together before he departed for the Phanatic Dance with a bunch of lucky kids.
Transaction: Marsh (of) was activated from the injured list and Cal Stevenson (of) was sent back down to Lehigh Valley. Suarez (lhp) was also activated with Jose Ruiz (rhp) going on the 15-day injured list with a neck spasm.
