| 2024 Topps Heritage #419 |
Game 29 - Sunday Afternoon, April 28th in San Diego
Record - 19-10, 2nd Place, 1 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Bryson Stott hit two, two-run home runs in support of Taijuan Walker's season debut, as the Phillies defeated the Padres, 8-6, and completed the series sweep.
What It Means: They're playing good baseball right now, and hopefully that continues with the three-game series beginning late Monday night against Mike Trout and the Angels.
What Happened: Walker's line looks worse than it actually was, as he really only had two bad innings. He allowed three runs in the third, after a questionable ball call that could have ended the inning, and three more runs in the seventh inning. He went 6 1/3 innings, giving up six runs on eight hits and striking out four. The bullpen calmed things down and Jose Alvarado earned his fifth save.

Realmuto added a two-run home run of his own in the sixth. Alec Bohm stayed hot and collected three more hits, raising his average to .365, which is third best in the league.
Featured Card: It's Stott's turn to have his 2024 Topps Heritage card featured.

Have him on my fantasy team - he finally did something - I think this Heritage is the greatest of all time.
