Game 128 - Sunday Afternoon, August 28th in Philadelphia
Record - 72-56, 3rd Place, 9 1/2 games behind the Mets
Post-Vacation Catch-Up II, Post 8 of 11
One Sentence Summary: Roansy Contreras and three Pirates relievers held the Phillies to four singles in this deflating 5-0 loss.
What It Means: After riding high through a six-game winning streak, the Phillies looked flat in this game and they didn't appear to ever really be in it.
What Happened: Noah Syndergaard couldn't repeat the success of his last start, allowing five runs on nine hits in 5 2/3 innings of work. The bullpen kept the Pirates off the board after Syndergaard exited, but the Phillies offense couldn't get anything going. The line-up went 0 for 4 with runners in scoring position, leaving seven runners on base.
Featured Card: Before the game, former Phillies third baseman Charlie Hayes threw out the ceremonial first pitch to his son, Ke'Bryan Hayes, the current Pirates third baseman. This is the one signed card of the elder Hayes in my collection, from the 2016 Topps Archives release.
