Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA
73-53, 1st Place, 5 1/2 games ahead of the Mets
73-53, 1st Place, 5 1/2 games ahead of the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Cristopher Sanchez continued his masterful season with a 12-strikeout performance and J.T. Realmuto broke a 4-4 tie with an eighth inning, two-run home run in this 6-4 win over the Mariners.
What It Means: The Phillies would go for a series sweep on Wednesday afternoon.
What Happened: Sanchez unfortunately got a no-decision, but he pitched 6 1/3 strong innings, allowing a pair of runs on six hits. Orion Kerkering had a rare rough outing, allowing the Mariners to tie the game in the seventh. David Robertson pitched a scoreless eighth, and Jhoan Duran pitched a perfect ninth for his sixth save with the Phillies.

Kyle Schwarber hit a solo home run in the first, his National League leading 44th of the season. Bryson Stott, who is hopefully heating up, hit a solo home run in the fourth to give the Phillies a 4-1 lead. Realmuto's eventual game-winning home run came with Bryce Harper on base and nobody out in the eighth.
Featured Card: Apparently Schwarber set a franchise record by hitting a home run in his 15th straight series. I wasn't aware of that until the Topps Now card popped up the following morning.
Transaction: Jose Alvarado (lhp) was activated from the restricted list and Nolan Hoffman (rhp) was optioned back to Lehigh Valley. To make room for Alvarado on the 40-man roster, Josh Walker (lhp) was designated for assignment.
