Game 105 - Sunday Afternoon, July 29th in Cincinnati
Record - 58-47, 1st place, 1 1/2 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The offense continued their disappearing act as the Reds downed the Phillies, 4-0.
What It Means: To summarize this series with the last place Reds, the Phillies offense hit seven home runs on Thursday night and then shut down for the next three games. This was a missed opportunity for the club as they could have put some breathing room between them and the second place Braves this weekend. They next head to Boston for a quick, two-game set against the best team in baseball.
What Happened: The line-up went 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position, managing just 8 hits in this game. Zach Eflin struggled, allowing four runs on seven hits in his 5 1/3 innings of work.
Featured Card: Congratulations to Jim Thome, who was inducted into Baseball's Hall of Fame on Sunday afternoon! Thome joined five other players in Cooperstown as the Class of 2018 - Vladimir Guerrero, Trevor Hoffman, Chipper Jones, Jack Morris and Alan Trammell. Thome thanked his long-time mentor and former Phillies manager Charlie Manuel as part of his acceptance speech.
