Game 119 - Saturday Afternoon, August 20th in Philadelphia
Record - 65-54
One Sentence Summary: A lifeless Phillies team dropped a forgettable game against the Mets in the Saturday double header matinee.
What It Means: It means the Phillies need to win the final two games of the series in order to earn a split with the Mets.
What Happened: Zack Wheeler struggled, similar to Aaron Nola the night before. Wheeler went 5 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on five hits while striking out six. Nick Nelson got roughed up for four more runs in the top of the ninth, with Darick Hall needing to enter the ballgame to record the final out. The Phillies offense left eight runners on and were 1 for 5 with runners in scoring position. Rhys Hoskins was 0 for 4 with three strikeouts.
Featured Card: Games like this make it hard to come up with a featured card, as there was nothing remotely memorable about it from a Phillies' fan perspective. So I'll use this opportunity to point out I'm quickly nearing the end of one of my other blogs, Collecting the 1965 Topps set. I'm still catching up on posts featuring cards purchased at the Philly Show back in March, and as of this morning we're six cards away from a complete set. Galen Cisco was one of the Mets' best pitchers during their early years, and he'd later serve as the Phillies' pitching coach between 1997 and 2000.
Transaction: Bailey Falter (lhp) was added to the roster as the 27th man for the double header.
