[zambonir]

Turner and Sosa looking okay in the field tonight too huh?

[LoneStarPhan]

A nice and needed win.

I am very happy for Turner. I hope he continues to do well. The Phillies need games like tonight. Not only did Turner drive in 4 runs with his two extra base hits, the team pounded out 13 hits. Harper (3 for 4) and Bohm (2 for 3) also hit big home runs tonight.

Another save for Kimbrel. Win goes to Strahm.

[bkox]

Alec Bohm’s HR tonight was the #Phillies ’ 7th straight that was a 2-run shot.

Bryce Harper’s was the 8th straight.

That’s something they've never done before in their 141-year history.

Bohm's 2-run HR tied Delahanty's streak of 7 straight, 127 years ago. @TheGoodPhight https://t.co/oI22SjfXh1 pic.twitter.com/Nb6bUVe9pw

A good win, but 3 walks in the last two innings not at all good.

[BostonRoss]

True, but if the bullpen isn't going to allow any hits, I can live with it.

[zambonir]

Home runs, I think, are good.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Home runs, I think, are good.

… especially good with men on base.

[LoneStarPhan]

I agree that the walks by the bullpen are troubling, but tonight, the pen goes 4 innings with no hits and no runs, so the 3 walks did not hurt. The scoreless innings from the pen while the offense scored 4 runs over those innings worked out for the win.

[VoteForKalas]

Offense comes through...nice job

Take the series today and then sweep the Nats
