| 2022 Phillies Photo Cards #45 |
Game 59 - Saturday Afternoon, June 11th in Philadelphia
Record - 30-29, 3rd Place, 8 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies continued their winning ways behind six shutout innings from Zack Wheeler and a two-run home run from Bryson Stott.
What It Means: The Phillies have now won nine games in a row, matching their longest winning streak since July/August 2011. Interim Manager Rob Thomson is the third MLB manager since 1900 to win their first eight games, joining Joe Morgan for the Red Sox in 1988 and the Phillies' Pat Moran in 1915. (Notes from the PhilliesNotes Twitter account.)
What Happened: Wheeler picked up his fifth win, allowing a pair of hits and striking out eight. The bullpen did its job with Brad Hand and Cristopher Sanchez throwing scoreless innings to close it out. Nick Castellanos had an RBI single in the first and a check-swing RBI double in the eighth. Stott's fourth home run came in the second inning and brought home Matt Vierling. Vierling made his professional debut at second base, handling all eight of his chances smoothly.
Featured Cards/Field Report: Jenna and I attended this game as part of Jenna's Christmas present. Having seen the Avett Brothers in concert the first time they visited Citizens Bank Park in 2017, she requested a return trip and I got us a pair of tickets in Section 116. Walking around before the game, I was thrilled to finally find team-issued photo cards for sale around the ballpark, and after picking up two sets we made our way to Pass & Stow for a leisurely sit down dinner. This Wheeler card is from the photo card set, and I'll have a full separate post on the set shortly.
We enjoyed the game from the fifth inning onwards from our seats and then settled in for the concert. The band did not disappoint, and like I did in 2017, I've created a limited edition chase card to mark the occasion.
