2022 Topps Archives #229 |
Game 10 - Monday Night, April 10th in Philadelphia
Record - 4-6, 3rd Place, 2 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Matt Strahm pitched five strong innings and the Phillies' offense jumped on the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner for nine runs in this 15-3 rout.
What It Means: The Phillies will try to keep it going tonight as they inch closer to evening their won-loss record.
What Happened: Strahm earned the win, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out six. McKinley Moore (making his big league debut) and Andrew Vasquez navigated the rest of the game. Four Phillies players had three hit nights - Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos, Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh. Jake Cave, Bohm and Marsh all homered. Marlins' starter Sandy Alcantara exited after four innings having allowed nine runs on 10 hits.
Featured Card: Alec Bohm had quite the game with a pair of runs scored, three hits and six RBIs. I have a feeling I'll be featuring quite a few of his cards during the 2023 season, which is fine as I have a backlog from 2022. This is his card from the 2022 Topps Archives set, paying tribute to the 1987 Topps design, which Topps absolutely loves and completely overuses.

Field Report: We attended our fourth game in a row, and that streak will be broken with the Tuesday night game as we take the night off from the ballpark. We enjoyed the game from the Diamond Club, with Doug securing pregame autographs from the Marlins' Joey Wendle and the Phillies' Kody Clemens. Normally, we would have avoided getting tickets for a Monday night game against the Marlins, but we wanted to be there to see Jean Segura receive his 2022 National League Champions ring and to welcome him in his return to Citizens Bank Park.
For the record, Doug also secured an autograph from Phillies' majority owner John Middleton as Alec Bohm was hitting his sixth inning home run.
