One Sentence Summary: Trea Turner came through with a clutch, two-run single in the bottom of the 10th, sending the Phillies to their third straight win over the Braves.
What It Means: They'll go for a series sweep tonight before heading to Milwaukee for a key series with huge playoff implications.
What Happened: Cristopher Sanchez and Chris Sale baffled batters for most of the game. Sanchez allowed a run on seven hits in seven innings, striking out eight. Sale allowed a solo home run to Weston Wilson in the third, and allowed only two other hits while striking out nine. Knotted at 1-1, Matt Strahm gave up an RBI single to Nacho Alvarez Jr. in the top of the 10th, scoring the ghost-runner, Jake Fraley. In the bottom of the 10th, with ghost-runner Alce Bohm on second, Nick Castellanos was hit by a pitch and Bryson Stott singled to load the bases. With two outs and two strikes on him, Turner found a hole in the infield, singling to right and scoring both Bohm and Castellanos. It was the team's fourth walk-off win of the season.
Featured Card: Not only did he have the winning hit, but Turner provided some fantastic plays at shortstop throughout this game. I recently added this great-looking card of his to my collection from the club-exclusive 2023 Topps Brooklyn Collection. Featuring a retro Topps design, the card is about as thick as four regular cards.
