| 2019 Topps 1984 Topps Baseball 35th Anniversary #T84-3 |
Game 9 - Sunday Afternoon, April 7th in Washington
Record - 4-5, 2nd Place, 2 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Baserunning blunders and a lack of clutch hits doomed the Phillies in this 3-2 series ending loss to the Nationals.
What It Means: They're off to St. Louis to open a three-game series against the Cardinals on Monday night.
What Happened: Christopher Sanchez was effective in his 4 1/3 innings, but it seemed as if he was constantly trying to work out of trouble. He was charged with three runs on six hits and three walks, taking his first loss of the year. The top of the line-up was a combined 2 for 20, with reserves Whit Merrifield and Edmundo Sosa generating the only offense for the day. In the second, Merrifield singled, stole second and came home on Sosa's single to left. In the fifth, Sosa briefly tied the game at 2-2 with a solo home run to center. Trea Turner seemed to hit a home run in the ninth, but Jesse Winker made a leaping grab at the wall for the inning's first out.
Featured Card: The set I'm highlighting this year with my custom Chachi cards and each series preview post is the 1984 Topps set. Whenever I don't have an obvious selection for a game summary post, like this one, I'll feature a card that didn't make the cut for this season's upcoming series preview posts. First up is this insert from 2019 Topps featuring current struggling Phillies shortstop Trea Turner.
