One Sentence Summary: Andrew Painter pitched the best game of his rookie season and the bats came alive once more in this 12-3 win over the Cardinals.
What It Means: The Phillies would go for the series sweep on Sunday afternoon. (Spoiler alert: It tuned out to be one of their most thrilling wins in recent memory.)
What Happened: Painter threw seven fantastic innings, allowing a run on five hits and no walks, while striking out eight. He reaped the benefit of 15 Phillies hits, including a three-run inning in the first and four-run innings in the third and sixth. Key hits from the offense included a two-run double from Edmundo Sosa in the first, a three-run home run from Bryce Harper in the sixth and a laser beam of a home run from Kyle Schwarber in the ninth off Cardinals' back-up catcher Pedro Pages. It was Schwarber's league-leading 38th home run of the season.
Featured Card: I'm thrilled to present a Painter card, especially after how dreadfully his season began. The Phillies minor league affiliates seem to put out these "Rise to the Show" mini sets several times a season, and this was my limited edition (numbered to 100) gold variation found within a pack of the Clearwater Threshers' version of the set.
