One Sentence Summary: The Phillies dropped the series finale against the Guardians, scoring just five runs all weekend against the strong Cleveland pitching staff.
What It Means: To be fair, the Guardians scored only four runs against the Phillies' pitching staff, but they won two out of the three games. The team flew to San Diego following the game, where they opened a three-game series on Memorial Day.
What Happened: Andrew Painter had perhaps his strongest start to date in the majors. He fell to 1-5, but he allowed just two runs on six hits over 6 1/3 innings pitched. Painter departed with his team trailing 2-0, and they'd get to within a run when Brandon Marsh tripled to lead off the seventh and came home on a Bryce Harper sacrifice fly. But reliever Jonathan Bowlan gave that run right back in the eighth when Travis Bazzana hit a solo home run.
Featured Card: Rhys Hoskins is batting just .188 for the season, but he had a big hit in this game, doubling to left in the sixth to score the Guardians' second run of the game. Hoskins hasn't appeared on any Guardians cards yet, and I recently pulled this card from a pack of Topps Heritage.
