| 2009 Bowman Draft Prospects Blue #BDPP37 |
Game 7 - Thursday Night, April 14th in Miami
Record - 3-4, 2nd Place, 2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies offense produced 11 hits, but couldn't push across enough wins to defeat the Marlins, taking a 4-3 loss.
What It Means: The team's Miami nightmares continue. For whatever reason, the Phillies seem to struggle whenever playing the Marlins on the road, and they've now dropped three games in a row.
What Happened: Kyle Gibson battled through 4 2/3 innings, and he looked to be getting squeezed by the home plate umpire. Gibson allowed four runs on five hits and three walks, while striking out six. The unlikely bullpen quartet of Andrew Bellatti, James Norwood, Brad Hand and Corey Knebel held the Marlins scoreless over the final three frames. Bellatti and Norwood were making their Phillies debuts.
J.T. Realmuto went 4 for 4, with four singles. Johan Camargo continued to swing a hot bat with a double, and he continued to provide stellar defense. Kyle Schwarber had a double, and his 1 for 5 performance improved his season average to .111. Bryce Harper is hitting .160, Bryson Stott is hitting .222 and Matt Vierling is 0 for 15 to start the season.
Featured Card: A non-roster invitee to spring training, Bellatti entered the game in the fifth with runners on first and second and two outs. He was bailed out of any trouble with a fantastic diving catch by Camargo in foul territory to retire the side. Bellatti appeared in 17 games with the Rays in 2015 and three games with the Marlins in 2021. His only mainstream baseball card to date can be found in the 2009 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects set.
Transactions: Following the Wednesday afternoon game, Connor Brogdon (rhp) and Damon Jones (lhp) were optioned to Lehigh Valley. On Thursday, Norwood (rhp) was activated from the bereavement list and Bellatti (rhp) had his contract purchased.
