| 1934-36 Batter-Up (R318) #38 |
Game 41 - Sunday Afternoon, May 12th in Miami
Record - 28-13, 1st Place, 2 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Swinging pink bats in honor of Mother's Day, the Phillies battled back late to tie the game, but couldn't capitalize on a 10th inning opportunity as the Marlins walked it off against Gregory Soto, 7-6.
What It Means: The team should have been celebrating another series sweep, but instead they'll settle for another series win. Four games against the Mets are coming up next.
What Happened: Zack Wheeler was off, and he labored through four innings, giving up six hits and six runs while walking three. The bullpen kept the Phillies in the game, with the Marlins scoring the winning run in the 10th on a fluke ground ball off Soto that bounced into the outfield, allowing the zombie runner to score.

Nick Castellanos stayed hot with a three-run home run in the first inning. The Phillies tied it up in the sixth on a two-run triple from Edmundo Sosa followed by a sacrifice fly from Brandon Marsh. They loaded the bases in the top of the 10th, but pinch-hitter Kody Clemens popped up to end the threat.
Featured Card: I admittedly spent way too much time looking for a recent Phillies baseball card in my collection showing a player decked out in pink or swinging a pink bat. I'm almost positive I have such a card (or a few such cards) in my collection, but I came up empty. Searching "pink" in my Phillies Collection spreadsheet, this card came up - a 1934-36 Batter-Up card for Jimmie Wilson, a pink tinted variety.
