| 2022 Topps Phillies #PHI-17 |
Game 18 - Tuesday Night, April 26th in Philadelphia
Record - 8-10, Tied for 3rd Place, 5 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies offense supported Zach Eflin's strong start in this 10-3 win over the Rockies.
What It Means: A busy week at my chosen profession means I'm playing catch-up with these game summary posts, and I'm happy knowing there's a few more wins on the way.
What Happened: Eflin pitched six solid innings, allowing a run on a Charlie Blackmon home run in the sixth. He struck out three, including his career strikeout number 500 against Ryan McMahon in the third inning. The Phillies led by as much as 7-0 after five innings, with RBI singles from Didi Gregorius, Alec Bohm and Jean Segura, and RBI doubles from Odubel Herrera and Rhys Hoskins. Herrera also hit a two-run home run in the sixth.
Featured Card: Eflin is a free agent following the season, and it will be interesting to see if he's back with the Phillies or if he goes elsewhere on a lucrative contract. Here's his card from the retail Topps Phillies team set, which mirrors his Series One flagship release.
Transaction: Damon Jones (lhp) was recalled from Lehigh Valley and Bailey Falter (lhp) was optioned. Ronald Torreyes (inf), a surprisingly key member of the 2021 Phillies squad, requested and was granted his release. Torreyes had been playing for the Triple-A IronPigs, and in 10 games he batted .171 (6 for 35). I'll take this opportunity to update what will be a running list of additions and departures throughout the 2022 season.

| Departed During the 2022 Season | Date | Transaction | |
