Game 134 - Friday Night, September 3rd in Miami
Record - 69-65, 2nd Place, 2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: A nightmare sixth inning, in which the Marlins scored seven times, doomed the Phillies in this 10-3 loss.
What It Means: The Braves and Reds both also lost, so no ground was gained by the Phillies in the hunt for a postseason spot.
What Happened: The Phillies battled back to tie the game at 3-3 in the top of the sixth on an RBI double from Matt Vierling. Vierling had delivered an RBI triple in the second and Freddy Galvis homered to start the game. In nine games so far, Vierling is batting .529 (9 for 17) with two doubles and a triple. Kyle Gibson suffered his first shaky outing with the Phillies, allowing eight runs on eight hits. Reliever JD Hammer allowed all three inherited runners from Gibson to score, along with two more runs of his own. Galvis added a crucial error in the sixth that prolonged the inning and contributed to the Marlins' run deluge.
Featured Card: In the eighth inning, reliever Cam Bedrosian made his Phillies debut, pitching a perfect inning with one strikeout. He and his father Steve joined two other father-son combinations to have played for the Phillies - Ruben Amaro and Ruben Amaro, Jr., along with Mark Leiter and Mark Leiter, Jr. Bedrosian made his debut in 2014 and spent seven seasons with the Angels. The Phillies are his third team of 2021, as he pitched earlier in the season with the Reds and Athletics.
Transactions: Didi Gregorius (ss) and Travis Jankowski (of) returned from paternity leave. Nick Maton (inf) and Jorge Bonifacio (of) went back to Lehigh Valley.
