One Sentence Summary: The Phillies finally scores runs in bunches, punishing the Braves with a 13-0 victory.
What It Means: They'll try to continue swinging the bats tonight with Jesus Luzardo on the mound. The Phillies Room will be down for routine summer maintenance over the next week-plus, returning to live posting following a long holiday weekend.
What Happened: After a 2 hour, 19 minute rain delay at the outset, the Phillies opted to let Mick Abel have the night off and went with a bullpen game. The Phillies jumped on Braves' starter Bryce Elder quickly, scoring 10 runs off him in his two innings of work. After a quiet series in Houston, the Phillies hit five home runs - two from Trea Turner and one each from Nick Castellanos, Otto Kemp and Kyle Schwarber. Castellanos' and Kemp's home runs were both three-run shots, with Kemp collecting his first big league long ball. J.T. Realmuto was 3 for 4 at the plate before the veteran regulars were lifted with the game well in hand.

Alan Rangel pitched five scoreless innings of relief, earning a rare save in a blow-out game. Luke Williams pitched the ninth for the Braves, allowing Turner's second home run.
Featured Card: Turner needed a triple for the cycle when he came to bat against Williams, and he admitted following the game he had very briefly considered not stepping on home following his home run, so that it would be scored a triple. He was 4 for 6 in this game with four runs scored. This is an appropriately-themed insert card from the recently released Topps Series Two.
