One Sentence Summary: Aaron Nola and Alec Bohm returned from the injured list with mixed results and the Phillies battled to an 11-9 win that began on Sunday morning.
What It Means: They went 6-4 on the roadtrip and now return home for three with the Mariners and three more with the Nationals.
What Happened: In his first start since May 14th, Nola completely fell apart, and fell apart quickly, in the third inning. Spotted to a 6-0 lead and with one down in the bottom of the third, the Nationals did this to Nola - single, single, single, walk, single, double, double - tying the score. Nola exited and Tanner Banks entered to restore order. The Nationals wouldn't score again until Paul DeJong hit a three-run home run off Max Lazar in the bottom of the ninth, resulting in Jhoan Duran needing to come in and secure the save.

The Phils scored a run in the first without a hit, and then scored five more in the second. Kyle Schwarber hit a two-run single, followed by an RBI single from Bryce Harper and topped off with a three-run home run from Bohm. They'd retake the lead for good in the fourth on a two-run single from Weston Wilson. Nick Castellanos added a solo home run in the sixth, hopefully breaking his lengthy slump, and two more insurance runs were added in the eighth. Every starter with the exception of Rafael Marchan had at least one hit, with Marchan going 0 for 5 on the day.
Featured Card: It's good to have Bohm back, and his first inning home run was his ninth of the year.
Transaction: Nola (rhp) was activated from the 60-day injured list and Cal Stevenson (of) was released to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Bohm (3b) was activated with Otto Kemp (inf) getting sent back to Lehigh Valley. Finally, Daniel Robert (rhp) was activated and also optioned down.
