Game 16 - Tuesday Night, April 17th in Atlanta
Record - 10-6, 2nd place, 2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Rhys Hoskins delivered a two-run double in the 10th inning as the Phillies won this game in extras, 5-1.
What It Means: The Phils will go for the series win tonight. They'll then travel home and open a 10-game home stand with a four-game series with the Pirates.
What Happened: Hoskins was having a miserable game before his big hit, having struck out three times and grounding into a double play. His double scored Scott Kingery and Cesar Hernandez. A few batters later, Maikel Franco doubled home Hoskins and Aaron Altherr providing some cushion.
Nick Pivetta allowed a run on five hits in his five-inning start. Hector Neris was the recipient of the win thanks to his scoreless ninth inning.
Featured Card: I'm expecting Hoskins to appear in every Topps insert set possible this year, and I've already added a bunch of his 2018 cards to my collection. This is his groovy New Age Performers insert from the Topps Heritage release.
