| 2022 Phillies Photo Cards #7 |
Game 53 - Saturday Night, June 4th in Philadelphia
Record - 24-29, 3rd Place, 11 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies used a five-run first inning to catapult to a 7-2 win over the Angels.
What It Means: They'll go for the series sweep this afternoon, and it appears as if interim manager Rob Thomson is a genius.
What Happened: The Phillies had Angels' starter Michael Lorenzen on the ropes early, with J.T. Realmuto lashing a two-run double to left, Johan Camargo adding a two-run single to right and Mickey Moniak adding an RBI ground out before most of the 36,000 plus fans had settled into their seats. Camargo drove in two more with another big single in the eighth. Zack Wheeler went six strong innings, allowing a pair of runs on six hits while striking out nine.
Featured Card: Here's a closer look at what I hope will be a full set of team-issued photo cards. Single cards were included in grab bags on Friday night as part of the ALS fundraiser to serve as identifiers for signed baseballs or hats, and this is one of two Camargo cards we added. I've faithfully asked ballpark vendors since the start of the season when they thought photo card sets would be available for sale, and the answers have varied. I've gotten, "Probably in May," and "soon," along with an explanation that supply chains have delayed the shipment of the sets. Now that we know the cards actually exist, hopefully we see them for sale in set form soon. It's also possible that sale of the sets has been delayed while some unfortunate Phillies intern goes through each set and removes the card for recently fired manager Joe Girardi.
Field Report: With Ben spending quality time with his cousins, aunt and grandmother, Jenna, Doug and I went to this Phillies game in order to see a little more live Mike Trout action. The outcome of the game didn't disappoint, but Trout is now mired in an 0 for 23 slump, the longest skid of his career.
