Truist Park - Atlanta, GA
9-18, 5th Place, 9 1/2 games behind the Braves
Featured Card: This is only the second game this season to feature a Harper card, and I'm hoping he has many more starring roles throughout the summer.
Transaction: Wheeler (rhp) was activated and Alex McFarlane (rhp) was optioned back down to Reading.
9-18, 5th Place, 9 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler had a solid season debut and Bryce Harper had four RBIs in this extra-inning win over the Braves, snapping a 10-game losing streak.
What It Means: We didn't know it at the time, but this would be the final win for Rob Thomson as manager of the Phillies.
What Happened: Wheeler went five innings, allowing a pair of runs on three hits and three walks while striking out six. With the Phillies holding a slim 3-2 lead, Tanner Banks allowed the Braves to quickly take a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the sixth when Matt Olson doubled to lead off the inning, Ozzie Albies doubled him home and Michael Harris II singled Albies home. Kyle Schwarber tripled to start the eighth and Harper scored him with a sacrifice fly.

The Phillies offense exploded for four runs in the top of the 10th, starting with a two-run single from Harper and capped by a two-run single from Brandon Marsh. Kyle Backhus allowed a run in the bottom of the 10th, but eventually got three outs to mercifully end the skid.
