Game 28 - Mother's Day Sweep Falls Short

2022 Topps Phillies #PHI-5
Mets 6
, Phillies 1 (Game 2)
Game 28 - Sunday Afternoon, May 8th in Philadelphia
Record - 12-16, 4th Place, 7 games behind the Mets

One Sentence Summary:  The Mets easily handled the Phillies in this sparsely attended Mother's Day matinee.

What It Means:  Honestly, I have no idea.  We were enjoying Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness at the movie theater and almost completely missed this game.  Turns out we didn't miss much.

What Happened:  Cristopher Sanchez received the spot start, and gave up a pair of runs on a first inning home run to Pete Alonso.  Alonso connected again for a three-run home run off reliever Nick Nelson in the fifth inning.  The Phillies' only run came on Jean Seguara's 100th career home run, hit in the second inning off Mets' starter Chris Bassitt.

Featured Card:  Congrats are in order for Segura, who provided the sole Phillies highlight from this game.  The Phillies passed along a note that there are now five active players with 100 home runs, 225 doubles and 45 triples:  Jean Segura, Mike Trout, Andrew McCutchen, Charlie Blackmon and Starling Marte.
