Game 96 - Wednesday Night, July 20th in Philadelphia
Record - 44-52, 4th place, 13 1/2 games behind the Nationals
One Sentence Summary: In what could be his last home appearance with the Phillies, Jeremy Hellickson delivered his best-pitched game of the year and the Phillies defeated the Marlins, 4-1.
What It Means: This was the sole bright spot in an otherwise dreadful series with the Marlins.
What Happened: Hellickson pitched eight innings for his seventh win, allowing just five hits and striking out eight. Jeanmar Gomez pitched a quick ninth inning for his 26th save. Getting a rare start, Tyler Goeddel drove in three runs on two hits, including a two-run home run (4) in the first.
Featured Card: I'll be sorry to see Hellickson go, but if he can bring a few more pieces to help out in 2017 (and beyond), so be it.Field Report: Occasionally, I'm asked to attend a Phillies game for work purposes and I'm fairly certain I've never once declined such an opportunity. So while I was performing my professional responsibilities in the Diamond Club for this game, Jenna and the boys decided to use our normal tickets and enjoy the game from Section 319.
