2015 Topps Museum Collection #39 Ryan Howard

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.

  1. Howard crushed that homer yesterday. The card isn't bad, and the Museum Collection do look nice in hand.
