| 1987 Donruss Highlights #2 |
Game 11 - Monday Night, April 18th in Denver
Record - 4-7, Tied for 4th Place, 3 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The offensive woes continued for the Phillies, as the Rockies easily handled them in this 4-1 loss.
What It Means: The Phillies have lost six of their last seven, and they'll try to break the skid with more late night baseball in Denver on Tuesday.
What Happened: Aaron Nola had a decent outing, pitching into the sixth inning and allowing a pair of runs on six hits while striking out four. Jose Alvarado allowed a runner inherited from Nola to score on a wild pitch. The struggling Phillies offense managed five hits, going 1 for 4 with runners in scoring position. They scored their lone run in the eighth when Didi Gregorius doubled home Alec Bohm.
Featured Card: When the Phillies aren't playing, finding baseball cards to feature for these game summary posts becomes a daily challenge. Fortunately, yesterday was the 35th anniversary of Mike Schmidt connecting for his 500th career home run in Pittsburgh off pitcher Don Robinson. Embedded below is a link to the wonderful video from 1987, That Ball's Outta Here! - The Mike Schmidt Story.
