Game 71 – Kemp, Casty Have Big Days at the Plate, Phils Sweep Jays

Philadelphia Phillies

One Sentence Summary:  Zack Wheeler handled the Blue Jays’ line-up, Nick Castellanos hit a grand slam and Otto Kemp enjoyed a four-hit day in this 11-4 win, completing the series sweep. What It Means:  With the Phillies seemingly back on track after winning five out of six on this homestead against the Cubs and Blu Jays, they’ll head to Miami for a four-game set against the last place Marlins. What Happened:  Wheeler improved to 7-2 and likely left the game only due to the length of the bottom of the sixth inning, during which the Phillies nearly batted around and Castellanos hit his slam.
