Game 137 - Offense Sputters, Pen Can't Hold Off Braves

Philadelphia Phillies	1

2025 Topps Heritage #416

Sunday Night, August 31st

Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA
79-58, 1st Place, 6 games ahead of the Mets

One Sentence Summary:  A solid performance from Jesus Luzardo was wasted and the Braves capitalized on a few shaky bullpen performances in this 3-1 loss.

What It Means:  The Phillies took three out of four from the Braves.  They'll start September with a huge series against the Brewers beginning Labor Day afternoon.

What Happened:  Luzardo pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing a pair of hits while striking out seven.  Orion Kerkering allowed the Braves to tie the game when he couldn't retire a batter in the eighth.  Jose Alvarado surrendered a two-run home run to Drake Baldwin in the top of the ninth.  The only offense mustered by the Phillies was a solo home run from Brandon Marsh in the fourth.  Bryce Harper, J.T. Realmuto and Alec Bohm were a combined 0 for 10.

Featured Card / Transaction:  A day before the deadline for postseason eligibility, the Phillies added two pitchers who could play key roles in September/October.  Tim Mayza (lhp) was claimed off waivers from the Pirates, and he could replace Alvarado on the roster in October given Alvarado is ineligible for the postseason.  Walker Buehler (rhp) was signed as a minor-league free agent.  Buehler, a two-time All-Star with the Dodgers, was released by the Red Sox on August 29th.  In 23 games with the Red Sox, Buehler was 7-7 with a 5.45 ERA in 112 1/3 innings pitched.  After a start this coming weekend with the IronPigs, he'll join a six-man rotation as the Phillies continue to contend with Zack Wheeler's absence.
