Game 83 - Saturday Afternoon, June 29th in Philadelphia
Record - 54-29, 1st Place, 8 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: A lack of offense doomed the Phillies in this 3-2 loss to the Marlins.
What It Means: They'll try to tie up the series on Sunday afternoon, assuming the thunderstorms stay away long enough.
What Happened: Garrett Stubbs caused some temporary excitement when his solo home run tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the third. The Phillies took a 2-1 lead in the fifth on an Alec Bohm sacrifice fly. In the top of the sixth, Aaron Nola was chased from the game on back-to-back doubles by Otto Lopez and Nick Fortes to tie the game. Matt Strahm entered and gave up a single to Jazz Chisolm, scoring Fortess and giving the Marlins a 3-2 lead. The Phillies' offense went down quietly over the final three innings.
Featured Card: With no reason to feature a Phillies card for this game, I'll instead pay tribute to Orlando Cepeda, who passed away on Saturday. Cepeda's passing comes 11 days after the death of his long-time teammate and fellow Hall of Famer Willie Mays. This card is in my Phillies collection because of Johnny Callison, and it features both former Giants greats.
