loanDepot park - Miami, FL
45-30, Tied for 1st Place, 10 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Cristopher Sanchez made his case to be a repeat All-Star and Kyle Schwarber hit a tie-breaking, eighth inning home run in this 2-1 win over the Marlins.
What It Means: The Phillies took three out of four from the Marlins, and now return home for an important weekend series with the Mets. Both teams have identical records, and the Mets have lost six in a row.
What Happened: Cristopher Sanchez picked up his sixth win, and probably could have gone for the complete game. He allowed a run on five hits while striking out four and yielded to Orion Kerkering after having thrown 91 pitches. Kerkering allowed a base runner in the ninth, but retired the side to earn his second save. The Phillies had trouble getting going against Marlins' starter Edward Cabrera. Cabrera was lifted with one out in the seventh and the Marlins holding a slim 1-0 lead. With Alec Bohm on first, reliever Cade Gibson gave up a Max Kepler single, threw a wild pitch and hit Otto Kemp to load the bases. Bryson Stott grounded out to score Bohm and tie the score.

Schwarber's 23rd home run of the year came at the perfect time, giving the Phillies a 2-1 lead in the eighth.
Featured Card: I flipped a coin and went with Sanchez over Schwarber, as the lanky lefty kept the Marlins' offense off-balance all game. This is his short-printed card from the Topps Heritage set.
Transaction: The Phillies selected the contract of Buddy Kennedy (inf) from Lehigh Valley and optioned Weston Wilson (of) down in a swap of bench players. To make room for Kennedy on the 40-man roster, Aaron Nola (rhp) was transferred to the 60-day injured list.
