Game 81 - Schwarber, Offense Crush Nats

2022 Topps Now #438
Phillies 11
, Nationals 0
Game 81 - Tuesday Night, July 5th in Philadelphia
Record - 43-38, 3rd Place, 7 games behind the Mets

Post-Vacation Catch-Up Post 10 of 11

One Sentence Summary:  Kyle Schwarber led the Phillies offense with two home runs in this 11-0 route over the Nationals.

What It Means:  The Phillies are still in a virtual tie with the Cardinals for the league's third Wild Card spot.

What Happened:  The offense banged out 13 hits, including Schwarber's home runs, a two-run home run from J.T. Realmuto, three hits from Darick Hall and a pair of hits, including a double, from Nick Castellanos.  It was the kind of game that made you temporarily forget the team was missing Bryce Harper from the heart of its line-up.

Cristopher Sanchez was the beneficiary of the win, pitching five shutout innings.  Mark Appel pitched the final two scoreless innings, not allowing a hit.

Featured Card:  As his home run barrage continues, Schwarber continues to amass Topps Now appearances.  The card shown here celebrates his 12 home runs hit in June, and with his pair of home runs in this game he increased his overall league lead to 25.

Transactions:  Sanchez (lhp) was recalled from Lehigh Valley prior to the game.  The Phillies also claimed Sam Clay (lhp) off waivers from the Washington Nationals and optioned him to the IronPigs.  Also, on Monday, the Cleveland Guardians re-claimed Oscar Mercado (of) off waivers.  Mercado's Phillies career was limited to just one pinch-hitting appearance.
