Game 105 - Thursday Night, August 4th in Philadelphia
Record - 57-48, 3rd Place, 10 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Alec Bohm's three-run home run was the big hit in this rain-shortened, 5-4 victory over the Nationals.
What It Means: The Phillies, Brewers and Cardinals are now in a three-way tie for the National League's third Wild Card spot.
What Happened: Noah Syndergaard made his Phillies debut and was credited with the win. He allowed 11 hits (all but one were singles) and four runs in his five innings of work. Rhys Hoskins started the scoring for the Phillies with a solo home run in the first. Hoskins would single home another run in the third to tie the game at 2-2. Bohm followed that with his blast to give the Phillies a 5-2 lead. Jean Segura returned to the club, seeing his first big league action since breaking his finger back in May. Brandon Walsh collected his first hit as a Phillie while making his first of many starts for the club in center field.
Featured Card: The debuts of Walsh and Syndergaard along with the return of Segura were the headliners for this game, but Bohm stole the show with his home run. Bohm appeared on a ton of Topps cards last year, and gave me very little reason to feature any of those cards in 2021 game summary posts. It's nice to go back and be able to show some of these cards from last season, including this card from the Topps Living Set.
Transactions: There were a flurry of moves before this game as a result of the trade deadline acquistions. Mark Appel (rhp), Bailey Falter (lhp) and Simon Muzziotti (of) were all optioned to the minor leagues. In a somewhat surprising move, Didi Gregorius (ss) was released. Gregorius was batting .210 in 63 games this season and Bryson Stott has been named the team's everyday shortstop at this point. In parts of three seasons with the Phillies, Gregorius appeared in 226 games, batting .230 with 24 home runs and 113 RBIs.

Joining the roster were Walsh (of) and Syndergaard (rhp) who were both activated. Segura (2b) was activated from the 60-day injured list and Kyle Gibson (rhp) was activated from the bereavement list.
Might have to pick up a TLS Bohmn card.
ReplyDeleteGood Job! 👍
Liked how an announcer described his homer "Bohms Away"
