| 2024 Philadelphia Phillies Photo Cards |
Game 60 - Sunday Night, June 2nd in Philadelphia
Record - 41-19, 1st Place, 6 1/2 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies came up short against the Cardinals on Lou Gehrig Night, losing in extra innings, 5-4.
What It Means: They took two out of three from the Cardinals with Rhys Hoskins and the Brewers coming to town on Monday for a three-game series. The London series and two games against the Mets is coming up next.
What Happened: Taijuan Walker gave up two, two-run home runs in his five innings of work, and the bullpen slammed the door from there until Gregory Soto surrendered the winning run in the 10th. With the Cardinals holding a 4-2 lead in the fifth, Bryson Stott singled home Garrett Stubbs and Johan Rojas to tie the score. The offense had their opportunities throughout the game, but went 3 for 17 with runners in scoring position.

Brandon Marsh left the game in the eighth with a hamstring injury. The Phillies are starting to show a little wear and tear with Edmundo Sosa and Kody Clemens dealing with minor ailments, and now Marsh, along with Ranger Suarez, possibly heading for IL stints.
Field Report/Featured Card: I've been very involved with ALS United Mid-Atlantic for many years, and our family celebrated patients, caregivers and ALS family members at the ballpark last night in the Bill Giles Suite. It was once again a great night for the cause with a moving pregame ceremony and $750,004 raised to help fund caregiving and research.
The Phillies sold grab bags with all proceeds going to help fight ALS, with each grab bag containing an autographed item (a hat or baseballs in our case) and a new 2024 photo card used as an identifier. We came away with autographed hats from Walker and Cristopher Sanchez, and autographed baseballs from Jeff Hoffman and Rodolfo Castro. Walker's card is shown here. I'd love to add more of these cards to my collection if you purchased a grab bag and aren't sure what do with the card. I've said this many times on this blog, but I really wish the Phillies would go back to selling these photo cards in team set form, something they've not done since the 2022 season, after skipping 2020 and 2021.
