Game 25 - Turnbull Deals, but Bullpen Falters in Loss to Reds

2023 Topps Update #US278
Reds 7
, Phillies 4
Game 25 - Wednesday Night, April 24th in Cincinnati
Record - 15-10, 2nd Place, 3 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Spencer Turnbull turned in yet another strong start, but the bullpen, and especially Seranthony Dominguez, struggled as the Reds came back to win, 7-4.

What It Means:  After a week of good vibes, the Phillies strung together back-to-back fairly ugly losses.

What Happened:  Turnbull's five innings of allowing just one run dropped his ERA to 1.33.  Dominguez looked lost in the sixth inning, recording only two outs and giving up four runs on four hits and a pair of walks.  Gregory Soto and Jose Alvarado would allow the Reds to tack on two more runs.

The offense had a strong night, with Alec Bohm going 4 for 4.  Both Whit Merrifield and Edmundo Sosa had multi-hit games.

Featured Card:  Here's hoping Dominguez can turn it around, as he has a 9.72 ERA through his first 10 appearances and 8 1/3 innings pitched of 2024.  The popular reliever was in the Topps Update set last year.
