Game 153 - Tuesday Night, September 27th in Chicago
Record - 83-70, 3rd Place, 13 games behind the Braves and Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies offense came out flat in the series opener in Chicago, collecting only five hits in this 2-1 loss to Marcus Stroman and the Cubs.
What It Means: I'm late with these posts again due to work commitments, and as I'm getting caught up on Friday night we already know this series was a disaster.
What Happened: Zack Wheeler kept his team in the game, allowing a third inning solo home run to Christopher Morel and striking out five over six innings. Connor Brogdon took the loss after he allowed Yan Gomes to double home Ian Happ with the eventual winning run in the bottom of the seventh. The punchless Phillies scored their only run in the sixth when Bryce Harper doubled home Bryson Stott. Stroman went seven strong innings, allowing the one run on four hits.
Featured Card: Former All-Star Chris Devenski made his Phillies debut, pitching a perfect eighth inning. Devenski appeared in 10 games for the Diamondbacks in July and August, compiling a 7.59 ERA over 10 2/3 innings. The Phillies are hoping he recaptures some of the ability that made him an All-Star with the Astros in 2017.
Transaction: Nick Castellanos (of) was activated from the injured list and Donny Sands (c) was optioned to the IronPigs. Johan Camargo (inf) was sent outright to the IronPigs.
