Game 47 - Sunday Afternoon, May 23rd in Philadelphia
Record - 23-24, Tied for 2nd Place, 1 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler was absolutely dominant in his outing and Brad Miller hit a three-run home run in the first inning in this 6-2 win over the Red Sox.
What It Means: The Phillies avoided a sweep from the Red Sox and they'll head next to Miami for a four-game series against the Marlins.
What Happened: Wheeler allowed three hits, including a long solo home run to Franchy Cordero in the eighth, and struck out 12. The Phillies scored four in the first inning, capped by Miller's home run. Miller was filling in for Bryce Harper who is either hurt or just in need of a day off. They added a few insurance runs in the eighth on an Andrew McCutchen sacrifice fly and an Odubel Herrera double.
Featured Card: It's got to be Wheeler again, for his performance and because I don't have any other cards for Miller. And I'm close to running out of cards for Wheeler . . .
Transaction: During this game, the Phillies announced they had claimed Brady Lail (rhp) off waivers from the Seattle Mariners and designated Ramon Rosso (rhp) for assignment. Lail has appeared in 11 major league games with the Yankees, White Sox and Mariners dating back to 2019. He's made two appearances so far this season for the Mariners and had a 13.50 ERA over two innings pitched.
