| 2022 Topps Heritage #245 |
Game 27 - Sunday Afternoon, May 8th in Philadelphia
Record - 12-15
One Sentence Summary: In a game the Phillies almost had to win, they held on to defeat the Mets, 3-2.
What It Means: Both Friday and Saturday's games with the Mets were washed out due to heavy rain in the area. Friday's game will be made up as part of a double header later in August, and the two teams played a double header on Sunday to make up Saturday's game.
What Happened: Kyle Gibson turned in another solid start, earning the win with six innings of six-hit, two run ball. Seranthony Dominguez, Jose Alvarado and Corey Knebel shut the Mets down over the final three innings with a combined seven strikeouts. Bryce Harper hit a solo home run in the first off Mets' starter Max Scherzer and added an RBI-single in the third. Bryson Stott singled home Jean Segura with what turned out to be an important insurance run in the fourth.
Featured Card: Here's Harper's 1973 Topps-inspired Topps Heritage card from this year's release.
Transactions: In a series of transactions all announced separately, the Phillies on Saturday placed Didi Gregorius (ss) on the injured list with a left knee sprain and recalled Bryson Stott (ss). Then on Sunday, Zach Eflin (rhp) landed on the Covid injured list with Francisco Morales (rhp) getting recalled. Cristopher Sanchez (lhp) was added as the 27th man for the double header. Finally, Zack Wheeler (rhp) also landed on the Covid injured list with Connor Brogdon (rhp) getting recalled.
