Game 31 - Wednesday Afternoon, May 11th in Seattle
Record - 14-17, Tied for 3rd Place, 6 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Rhys Hoskins hit a fourth inning grand slam as the Phillies escaped Seattle with a series win.
What It Means: Winning two out of three in Seattle was great, and now the Phillies are tasked with taking on the Dodgers in a four-game set beginning late Thursday night.
What Happened: With Zack Wheeler and Zach Eflin on the Covid-injured list, Bailey Falter was called upon for the spot start and he did well. Falter threw exactly 65 pitches (his limit) in 4 2/3 innings, allowing a run on five hits while striking out four. Seranthony Dominguez picked up the win with an inning and a third of scoreless relief, and Corey Knebel recorded the final four outs to notch his sixth save.
Featured Card: All the Phillies needed was Hoskins' slam. In the series, Hoskins was 6 for 13 (.462) with three home runs and seven RBIs.
Transaction: Falter (lhp) was recalled prior to the game and Matt Vierling (of) was optioned down to Lehigh Valley. In 23 games so far this season, Vierling is hitting just .170 (8 for 47) with a pair of doubles, raising his batting average from .189 to .222. He's also hitting .289 so far in the month of May.
