| 2022 Topps Heritage #326 |
Game 29 - Late Monday Night, May 9th in Seattle
Record - 13-16, Tied for 3rd Place, 6 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies offense unloaded on Mariners' pitching, collecting 17 hits in this 9-0 shutout victory.
What It Means: I wish I had been awake to see this?
What Happened: These heavy offensive games were a regular occurrence for the Phillies back during their golden years of 2007 to 2011, but when they happen now it's a pleasant surprise. Bryce Harper, Nick Castellanos and Rhys Hoskins all collected three hits a piece, with Jean Segura driving in three runs in his return to Seattle. The Phillies got back-to-back home runs from Segura and Hoskins in the second to start the night's outburst. J.T. Realmuto contributed two RBI-singles.
Ranger Suarez, Francisco Morales and James Norwood combined for the four-hit shutout against the Mariners. Morales, making his major league debut, allowed a walk and struck out three in his first two innings in the big leagues.
Featured Card: The Phillies need for Hoskins to get hot, and his three-hit night raised his season average 21 points from .189 to .210. Here's his 2022 Topps Heritage card, which is a good representation of a card that could have been in the original 1973 Topps set.
