Phillies 4, Pirates 2
Game 36 - Thursday Afternoon, May 14th in Philadelphia
Record - 13-23, 5th Place, 7 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Ryan Howard and Freddy Galvis supported Aaron Harang's fine pitching performance as the Phillies won 4-2.
What It Means: Two game win streak! The 2015 Phillies are on fire!
What Happened: Howard and Galvis each had three hits with Howard blasting his seventh home run of the season. Cameron Rupp also had a nice day, collecting two hits and throwing out two would be base stealers.
Harang pitched eight shutout innings, allowing five hits and striking out six.
Featured Card: Harang probably deserves the featured card for this game summary post, but seeing as I've already posted his one Phillies card, I'll go with a card for Howard instead. I'm still not sure why I feel the need to buy these Topps Museum Phillies cards each year.
Howard crushed that homer yesterday. The card isn't bad, and the Museum Collection do look nice in hand.
