Bryce Harper's sixth-inning two-run home run propelled the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. This win not only brought the Phillies closer to clinching the NL East title but also delayed the Brewers in their race for the NL Central championship.
Strong pitching from Zack Wheeler, who allowed only one run and struck out six, supported the Phillies' offense. Nick Castellanos also contributed with a solo homer, while Trea Turner had a productive outing going 3 for 5.
The victory allowed the Phillies to reduce their magic number to four for the NL East title, while the Brewers could only drop their magic number to one following a Cubs loss.
