| 2011 Topps Heritage Stamps #15 |
Game 47 - Monday Night, May 22nd in Philadelphia
Record - 22-25, 4th Place, 7 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies couldn't overcome the Diamondbacks, losing this series opener, 6-3.
What It Means: Did the Diamondbacks series actually happen? Busy with work, for some strange reason at this time of year, I barely registered any of this series. It didn't help the Phillies provided little reason to get excited until the final innings of Wednesday afternoon's series finale.
What Happened: It seems I didn't miss much. Zack Wheeler went six innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on eight hits while striking out three. Errors by Bryson Stott in the second and Kody Clemens in the eighth led to two costly unearned runs. Kyle Schwarber and Stott both hit solo home runs for the Phillies, who managed just six hits overall.
Featured Card: I went through my Excel tracking schedule to find any Diamondbacks baseball cards in my collection, and this 2011 Topps Heritage Stamps card caught my eye. Back in 2011, we thought the Phillies playoff run would never end and it seemed as if at least a few more World Series titles were in our future, especially with the arrival of Dominic Brown. It was not to be.
