One Sentence Summary: The Phillies got to Pirates' ace Paul Skenes for eight runs in the scorching heat, hanging on to win this game, 10-6.
What It Means: It was 96 degrees for the first pitch at 6:41, as the region suffers through a grueling holiday weekend heat wave.
What Happened: The Phillies offense made it look easy against Skenes, collecting eight runs (seven earned) on six hits, including a three-run home run from Trea Turner in the second and a solo home run from Brandon Marsh in the third. Zack Wheeler labored through 4 2/3 innings but struck out 10. He was pulled after 104 pitches, and voiced his displeasure at getting the hook by interim manager Don Mattingly following the game. A two-run home run from Alec Bohm in the bottom of the eighth made it a non-save situation, but Jhoan Duran still entered and pitched a perfect ninth to secure the win.
Featured Card: Hopefully Turner is getting hot. He's batting .322 with three doubles and three home runs over the past two weeks, raising his season average to a more respectable .239.
