| 2022 Choice Lehigh Valley IronPigs #26 |
Game 123 - Tuesday Night, August 23rd in Philadelphia
Record - 68-55, 3rd Place, 10 games behind the Mets
Post-Vacation Catch-Up II, Post 3 of 11
One Sentence Summary: After the Phillies had given up the lead in the ninth, Bryson Stott tied the game and Nick Maton walked it off in this 7-6 victory over the Reds.
What It Means: It wasn't pretty, but we'll take it.
What Happened: The game was scoreless until the sixth inning, with starters Ranger Suarez and Nick Lodolo pitching effectively for both teams. Suarez fell apart in the sixth, issuing two bases loaded walks, but the Phillies came back to take a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the inning, led by a two-run triple from J.T. Realmuto. The Reds retook the lead in the ninth thanks to an Edmundo Sosa throwing error and a shaky outing from Brad Hand. Now trailing 6-5, Jean Segura walked to start the bottom of the ninth. Pinch-hitter Stott doubled him home to tie the game, and Maton walked it off with a single to right.
Featured Card: Maton's sole baseball card to date* from 2022 can be found in the IronPigs team set. His one-time IronPigs teammate, Michael Plassmeyer, made his big league debut in this game and was in line for the win (and the featured card) had the bullpen not blown it. (*Maton has since appeared on a few Topps Now cards, including one for this game, but neither of those are in my collection yet.)
