Game 20 - 2021 Topps Heritage #19 Rhys Hoskins

Phillies 7
, Rockies 5
Game 20 - Saturday Night, April 24th in Denver
Record - 10-10, Tied for 1st Place, 1/2 game ahead of the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Rhys Hoskins hit a pair of home runs and Aaron Nola battled through a seven-inning outing in this 7-5 win over the Rockies.

What It Means:  The Phillies haven't won a series in Denver since 2012, and they'll try to do that today.  Following the game, the team heads to St. Louis for a four-game series.

What Happened:  Nola was off, but he lasted seven innings, giving up four runs on six hits.  Connor Brogdon allowed a run in the eighth before Hector Neris threw a relatively easy ninth on the way to his third save.

Nick Maton had two more hits to raise his average to .474 and there's already talk about whether or not the rookie could possibly play some center field.

Featured Card:  Hoskins is going on one of his hot streaks.  He started the Phillies' four-run outburst in the third inning with a two-run home run.  His three-run home run in the sixth broke a 4-4 tie and proved to be the difference in this much-needed win.
