Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA

33-29, 2nd Place, 8 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Keeping pace with Cristopher Sanchez's dominance, Zack Wheeler threw a gem of his own and was supported with some actual clutch hits in this 6-4 win over the Padres.
What It Means: The Phillies completed the season sweep of the Padres, winning all six games against them. The surprising White Sox come to town next for a weekend series, although their slugging rookie star Munetaka Murakami has landed on the injured list.
What Happened: Wheeler went seven strong, improving to 5-1 and striking out eight. His one mistake was allowing a two-run home run in the seventh to Manny Machado. Bryson Stott had an RBI single in the fourth, Adolis Garcia hit a solo home run (5) to lead off the fifth and Justin Crawford scored on a throwing error from the pitcher later in the inning. The Phillies went nuts and scored three times in the seventh, with Trea Turner and Alec Bohm contributing RBI singles. Jose Alvarado gave up a two-run home run in the ninth to Jackson Merrill before recording the final out.
Featured Card: I'm pulling for Garcia to turn things around, and he collected three hits in this series, including his fifth inning home run.
