The Phillies took a quick lead in the first when Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper all singled to start the game. Harper's single brought Turner home. Max Kepler hit his 15th home run in the second. Three more runs scored in the fourth when Brandon Marsh hit a two-run home run and Harrison Bader followed that with a solo home run of his own. And the scoring continued with four more runs in the seventh. Kepler added an RBI-single and Bryson Stott hit a three-run home run, his 10th of the season.
Featured Card: Stott drove in the most runs, but Kepler paced the offense with a few key hits. Collectors are still waiting on Kepler's first mainstream Phillies baseball card, and here's his 1969 Topps inspired card from the 2018 Topps Heritage set.
