Game 129 - Late Monday Night, August 29th in Phoenix
Record - 72-57, 3rd Place, 10 games behind the Mets
Post-Vacation Catch-Up II, Post 9 of 11
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies blew a 7-0 lead with the Diamondbacks scoring six runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings in this painful, late-night loss.
What It Means: Woof.
What Happened: Like most Phillies fans, I went to bed seemingly secure in the knowledge the Phillies would win this contest against the fourth place Diamondbacks. I was wrong. Ranger Suarez, Cristopher Sanchez and Andrew Bellatti were the recipients of the damage, although a costly error from Jean Segura meant four of Suarez's six runs allowed were unearned. Kyle Schwarber had a four-RBI night, which included his 36th home run.
Featured Card: As a few people pointed out on Twitter, this game was reminiscent of the loss on August 26, 2003 against the Expos. The Phillies had a 8-0 lead heading to the bottom of the fifth in that game, and lost 14-10. Phillies pitchers beat up by the Expos were Vicente Padilla, Terry Adams, Dan Please, Mike Williams and Phillies Room Favorite Rheal Cormier.
Transaction: The Blue Jays claimed Bradley Zimmer (of) off waivers, returning him to the team where he had started the season. It seems as if Zimmer was an unofficial rental from the Blue Jays while Brandon Marsh recovered from his leg injuries. Zimmer appeared in nine games for the Phillies, making five starts in center field, while batting .250 (4 for 16) with a few nice catches in the outfield.
