Game 40 - Late Monday Night, May 18th in Denver
Record - 17-23, 4th Place, 6 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Cole Hamels pitched a gem while Odubel Herrera and Carlos Ruiz provided clutch hits in the sixth to break a 1-1 tie as the Phillies eventually defeated the Rockies, 4-3.
What It Means: The Phils have won six in a row and they've passed the Marlins in the standings for sole possession of fourth place. They're now 2 1/2 games behind the third place Braves.
What Happened: Hamels pitched 7 1/3 innings, allowing a run on six hits while striking out seven. Luis Garcia and Jonathan Papelbon (10th save) held the Rockies scoreless over the final five outs. With the score tied at one, and with two outs in the sixth, Herrera's double plated two runs to give the Phils the lead.
Featured Cards: I thought this would be a good place to feature the final two cards from the 2014 Chachi set. Honestly, these team leaders cards probably didn't get the attention they deserved on this blog since I was so anxious to put the 2014 season behind me.
The Leading Firemen card below features a great photo from the combined no-hitter thrown by four different Phillies pitchers on Labor Day. I tried hard to use this photo for the eventual no-hitter Highlight card, but the four individual pictures I ended up using worked better with the 1988 Topps Highlights card design. And I really wish the dude walking by with the large gray trash can hadn't photo bombed the shot.
