Game 30 - Late Tuesday Night, May 11th in Seattle
Record - 13-17, Tied for 3rd Place, 7 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Mariners didn't hit the ball hard, but they scored more runs than the Phillies in this 5-4 loss in Seattle.
What It Means: After splitting the first two games of the series, the Phillies will go for the elusive series win on Wednesday afternoon.
What Happened: The Mariners took advantage of bloop hits, softly hit singles and four Phillies errors in this frustrating loss. Aaron Nola didn't pitch poorly, but he did allow nine hits and five runs (four earned) in his 5 1/3 innings of work. Bryce Harper had a pair of doubles with Nick Castellenos, Rhys Hoskins and Jean Segura all hitting solo home runs. Manager Joe Girardi was ejected in the second inning when third base umpire Bill Miller refused to review a play in which Mariners runner Adam Frazier was clearly out.
Featured Card: Girardi, who took over as Phillies manager before the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, has managed 252 Phillies game and has yet to appear on a Phillies baseball card. Topps has stopped featuring manager cards in its flagship sets, and managers haven't appeared in recent years in their Heritage sets either. And with the Phillies not issuing photo cards over the past two seasons, Girardi doesn't even have a team-issued card to his name. His Phillies-less streak should hopefully end soon when the Phillies finally release a 2022 photo card set, but for now here's his first Chachi card from that 2020 season.
