Game 122 - Thor Drops the Hammer on Reds

2022 Topps Now #638
Phillies 4
, Reds 1
Game 122 - Monday Night, August 22nd in Philadelphia
Record - 67-55, 3rd Place, 11 games behind the Mets

Post-Vacation Catch-Up II, Post 2 of 11

One Sentence Summary:  Thor pitched his best game yet in a Phillies uniform and Nick Castellanos drove in a pair of runs in this 4-1 win over the Reds.

What It Means:  The Phillies quickly put the Sunday night debacle against the Mets behind them with this relatively relaxing win over the Reds.

What Happened:  Noah Syndergaard allowed a solo home and three hits overall in his seven strong frames, with the unlikely duo of Sam Coonrod and Andrew Bellatti pitching the final two scoreless innings.  Castellanos and Bryson Stott hit back-to-back home runs in the second inning, with Castellanos adding an RBI-double in the third.  Alec Bohm continued to swing a hot bat, collecting three more hits and raising his season average to .292.

Featured Card:  Not including his Chachi card, Syndergaard has appeared on one Phillies baseball card so far, although he's pictured in an Angels uniform.  This is his Topps Now card released following his trade from the Angels in early August.

Transaction:  Tyler Cyr (rhp) was designated for assignment and Michael Plassmeyer (lhp) had his contract selected from Lehigh Valley.
