One Sentence Summary: After collecting just one hit through the first eight innings, the Phillies miraculously tied the game in the ninth, only to lose in the tenth.
What It Means: The Phillies will not finish the season 162-0.
What Happened: Aaron Nola got the start and allowed two home runs - a solo shot from Corey Seager in the first and a two-run home run to Jake Burger in the third. Nola went five, and Tanner Banks, Jose Alvarado and Tim Mayza all pitched scoreless frames to keep the Phillies in the game. In the bottom of the ninth, Alec Bohm singled with two outs, and went to second on an Edmundo Sosa walk. Adolis Garcia should have been out to end the game on a foul pop-up dropped by Burger, and Garcia's subsequent double scored Bohm. Brandon Marsh brought Sosa and Garcia home to tie the game at 3-3.

Jhoan Duran uncorked a wild pitch in the top of the 10th allowing ghost runner Brandon Nimmo to score the go-ahead run, and Andrew McCutchen provided an important insurance run with an RBI single to left. The Phillies pushed across a run in the bottom of the 10th on a Bryce Harper RBI single, but they could not come back for a second time.
Featured Card: It seems as if McCutchen has had a lot of big hits against his former team since departing following the 2021 season.
