One Sentence Summary: The bullpen melted down yet again, giving up eight unanswered runs late in the game in this 10-2 loss to the Tigers.
What It Means: It would seem as if the top trade target for the Phillies at the upcoming deal deadline is a reliable reliever or two.
What Happened: Aaron Nola pitched relatively well, allowing two runs on three hits and striking out eight in five innings of work. Yet interim manager Don Mattingly opted to go to his bullpen, with Nola sitting at just 84 pitches, for the sixth. Things fell apart quickly. What had been a 2-2 game was a 7-2 Tigers lead following a nightmare inning from Tim Mayza. Max Lazar entered in the eighth and allowed three more runs to score, giving up a pair of home runs. Derek Hill had three hits, including his third home run with the Phillies, but it was all for naught.
Featured Card: Third string catcher Garrett Stubbs was the only Phillies pitcher in this game unscored upon. Stubbs has appeared in four games as a mop-up reliever this season, and he has a 5.40 ERA in 3 1/3 innings pitched. His appearance last night was his 12th pitching appearance overall since 2022 with the Phillies. This is his only relatively mainstream baseball card appearance so far in 2026, from the IronPigs team set.
