Game 104 - Saturday Night, July 31st in Pittsburgh
Record - 51-53, 3rd Place, 4 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Jose Alvarado couldn't keep the score tied as the Pirates walked off with this 3-2 win.
What It Means: I could have easily found time to summarize this game before our Disney trip, but I opted not to given I wanted to leave for our journey in a pleasant mood.
What Happened: Aaron Nola yielded to the bullpen after throwing six effective innings, allowing two runs on three hits. The last place Pirates' pitching staff continued to mystify the Phillies offense, with Nola driving in the first Phillies run with a fifth inning sacrifice fly and Bryce Harper tying the game in the eighth with an RBI single to left. Alvarado was handed a 2-2 tie in the ninth. Bryan Reynolds doubled to start the inning and he'd eventually score on a bouncer to third that Alec Bohm threw just wide of home allowing Reynolds to score the winning run.
Featured Card: The best part of this game was seeing Phillies Room Favorite Freddy Galvis back in red and in the Phillies dugout. He's coming back from a right quad strain and hopefully he'll be activated by mid-August.
Transactions: The recently acquired Kyle Gibson (rhp) and Ian Kennedy (rhp) were activated and Enyel De Los Santos (rhp) was optioned to Lehigh Valley. Matt Moore (lhp) changed his uniform number to #48 with Kennedy taking his old #31.
