Game 119 - Late Tuesday Night, August 17th in Phoenix
Record - 61-58, 2nd Place, 2 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Kyle Gibson and JD Hammer pitched effectively, but the Phillies offense remained jet lagged after the trip out west in this lifeless 3-2 loss.
What It Means: No other team in baseball has lost more games than the Diamondbacks this season, and the Phillies line-up managed just three hits in this game. Not great.
What Happened: Gibson went six solid innings, allowing three runs on seven hits, and Hammer followed with two perfect innings while striking out four. Bryce Harper homered for the Phillies in the third and the only other Phillies run scored on a wild pitch in the ninth.
Featured Card: Diamondbacks catcher Daulton Varsho is the son of former Phillies player and coach Gary Varsho, and he's named after his Dad's one-time teammate Darren Daulton. The elder Varsho appeared in 72 games for the Phillies in 1995, his final season in the majors. He'd manage the Reading Phillies for several years before joining the big league coaching staff between 2002 and 2006.
