Game 78 - Wednesday Night, June 30th in Philadelphia
Record - 37-41, 4th Place, 5 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Aaron Nola's struggles continued and the bullpen threw gasoline on the fire as the Marlins easily defeated the Phillies, 11-6.
What It Means: This game would mark the quick end of Neftali Feliz's Phillies career, as he was brought into the game (for some reason) with the score tied at 5-5 in the fifth. He allowed a single and a double, ultimately giving the Marlins an 8-5 lead. They didn't look back after that, and Feliz would be designated for assignment on Thursday.
What Happened: Nola struck out 11, but his final line (4 2/3 innings, 9 hits, 7 runs) was brutal. The Marlins clubbed nine more hits off five different Phillies relievers. Bryce Harper went 3 for 5 with two solo home runs in the losing effort.
Featured Card: Harper's spring training roommate, top prospect Bryson Stott, was named to MLB's Futures Game on this day and he'll be the sole Phillies representative at this year's exhibition the Sunday before the All-Star Game. Stott has already appeared on quite a few Bowman and Topps releases dating back to last year.
