Game 94 - 2021 Topps Heritage #106 Spencer Howard IA

Yankees 6
, Phillies 5 (10 Innings)
Game 94 - Wednesday Night, July 21st in New York
Record - 47-47, 2nd Place, 3 1/2 games behind the Mets

One Sentence Summary:  The Phillies couldn't capitalize against a Triple-A Yankees bullpen, ultimately dropping this game in 10 innings by a score of 6-5.

What It Means:  The Phillies are a frustrating team to watch.

What Happened:  The offense had plenty of chances, but went 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position and left 12 runners on base.  With the game tied 2-2, Hector Neris had a rough seventh inning, allowing three runs on three hits, including a two-run home run by Rougned Odor to put the Yankees up, 5-3.  A two-run single from Luke Williams in the eighth tied the game at 5-5, but the Phillies were unable to score again in the 9th or 10th.  The Yankees finally won in the 10th when Ryan LaMarre singled home Gary Sanchez with the winning run.

Featured Card:  Injuries and lack of vaccinations dictated this to be a bullpen game, and Spencer Howard got the abbreviated start.  He pitched extremely well, giving up a hit and a walk in three scoreless innings of work while striking out a pair.

Transaction:  Howard (rhp) was recalled and Mickey Moniak (of) was sent back down.
