| 2024 Topps Heritage #144 |
Game 32 - Wednesday Afternoon, May 1st in Anaheim
Record - 21-11, 2nd Place, 1/2 game behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler and four relievers held the Angels to just one run and a two-run single from Kyle Schwarber in the second was all the Phillies needed in this 2-1 win.
What It Means: The Phillies won the series, and they've won 13 of their last 16 games. The Giants are in town next for a four-game series beginning Friday night.
What Happened: Wheeler didn't have his best stuff, but he got the win after allowing just a solo home run to Ehire Adrianza in the second inning. He allowed five hits overall while striking out six. Gregory Soto walked a tightrope in the ninth, allowing a pair of runners to reach before getting the final out and earning his second save.
Featured Card: I don't have many opportunities to feature cards of the relievers in these posts, so a lack of much action gives me an excuse to feature Soto's Topps Heritage card. He's struggled at times this season, but he's one of three reliable closers in manager Rob Thomson's arsenal, along with Jose Alvarado and Jeff Hoffman.
