At 6-9, De La Cruz would be the tallest position player in MLB history if he can reach the big leagues

Per transaction trackers on MLB.com, the Philadelphia Phillies have released four minor league players.

Aaron Nola struck out six in 7 1/3 innings, Kyle Schwarber homered and the Philadelphia Phillies moved a season-best 10 games over .500 with a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.

The club's best players have not always been great. If they are better in the second half, the Phillies should be where they want to be.

Kyle Schwarber hit a pair of three run homers, Drew Ellis hit his first two home runs of the season, and the Phillies defeated the Nationals 11-3 to take the rubber game of the series.

Drew Ellis was mulling a go in independent baseball only a few weeks ago, feeling his Major League opportunities had dried up.

Drew Ellis, who began the day with one Major League home run, hit a solo shot in the fifth and a two-run homer in the seventh.
