Game 49 - 2021 Topps Now Road to Opening Day #OD-285 Vince Velasquez

Phillies 2
, Marlins 0
Game 49 - Tuesday Night, May 25th in Miami
Record - 24-25, 3rd Place, 1 1/2 games behind the Mets

One Sentence Summary:  Vince Velasquez turned in yet another solid performance as the Phillies won with only two hits, 2-0.

What It Means:  To the surprise of everyone but himself, Velasquez has been a reliable starting pitcher for the past month.  In his last four starts he's gone at least five innings and allowed one run or less each time.  That's pretty good.

What Happened:  Velasquez went six innings in this game, allowing three hits while striking out five.  The bullpen locked down the shutout with Hector Neris recording his eighth save.  The Phillies only runs came in the fourth when Rhys Hoskins battled through a tough at-bat against Sandy Alcantara and ultimately hit a two-run home run to left.

Featured Card:  This is the only card released in 2021 (so far) for Velasquez.

Transactions:  The Phillies finally place Bryce Harper (of) on the injured list with a left wrist bruise and Roman Quinn (of) was activated.  The club also announced the signing of minor league free agent Jorge Bonifacio (of).
