| 2023 Topps Big League #29 |
Game 46 - Sunday Afternoon, May 21st in Philadelphia
Record - 22-24, 4th Place, 7 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Bryson Stott broke a scoreless tie with a two-run, pinch-hit home run in the seventh inning, and the Phillies would hold on for a 2-1 win over the Cubs.
What It Means: The Phillies took the series, they have a modest two-game winning streak, and the Diamondbacks are heading to town for a three-game set beginning on Monday night.
What Happened: Stott was given the day off initially, and entered in the seventh to pinch-hit for Josh Harrison after Edmundo Sosa had reached on a double. That was it for the Phillies offense, although they did have four doubles on the day, including Nick Castellanos' 15th of the year. Taijuan Walker did well on short rest, pitching 5 1/3 innings after not making it out of the first inning on Wednesday afternoon. Craig Kimbrel allowed a ninth inning home run to Christopher Morel, but would eventually earn his 5th save of the season and the 399th save of his career.
Featured Card: This is Stott's card from the Topps Big League set. I'm looking forward to the soon to be released Topps Heritage set, which will pay tribute to the design of the 1974 set, and I plan to use as many of those cards as possible in future game summary posts.
