| 2022 Topps Phillies #PHI-3 |
Game 15 - Saturday Afternoon, April 23rd in Philadelphia
Record - 6-9, 3rd Place, 4 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Brewers' pitching held the Phillies' bats in check in this 5-3 loss.
What It Means: The rubber match is tonight, and it's the Sunday Night Baseball game on ESPN.
What Happened: At least Zack Wheeler's stuff seemed to have returned, although last year's Cy Young Award candidate allowed four runs on seven hits over his five innings of work. Cristopher Sanchez gave up the fifth Brewers run on a solo home run to Hunter Renfroe in the sixth.
The Phillies offense kind of shut it down after the third. The Phillies scored first following back-to-back doubles from Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos in the first inning. They took a 3-0 lead in the third when Jean Segura singled home Odubel Herrera, and Castellanos added a sacrifice fly.
Featured Card: This is probably the last Phillies baseball card to be issued for current Brewer Andrew McCutchen while he's still an active player, and it's one of the 17 cards in the Topps Phillies team set available for sale at the ballpark. I'm happy to see the return of these sets, as covered in my last game summary post. This is a fitting card for this post as the team's cream-colored alternate uniforms, worn during home day games, finally arrived in time for yesterday's game. There had been a delay in the uniforms being shipped, so the Phillies had been wearing their red pinstripes during home day games. The baby blue throwback alternates, worn on home Thursday games, have also arrived after a similar delay.
