42-29, 2nd Place, 2 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler handled the Blue Jays' line-up, Nick Castellanos hit a grand slam and Otto Kemp enjoyed a four-hit day in this 11-4 win, completing the series sweep.
What It Means: With the Phillies seemingly back on track after winning five out of six on this homestead against the Cubs and Blu Jays, they'll head to Miami for a four-game set against the last place Marlins.
What Happened: Wheeler improved to 7-2 and likely left the game only due to the length of the bottom of the sixth inning, during which the Phillies nearly batted around and Castellanos hit his slam. Wheeler allowed four hits while striking out nine. Kemp went 4 for 5 with three runs scored and a pair of RBIs, raising his big league average to .345. Five other Phillies had multi-hit games - Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber, Alec Bohm, Max Kepler and J.T. Realmuto. Bohm hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning.
Featured Card: Castellanos hit his grand slam, his second of the year, in the sixth, just clearing the left center field wall and giving the Phillies a 10-2 lead. Here's his 1976 Topps-inspired card from the Topps Heritage set.
