Game 136 - Sosa's Big Night Delivers Victory

2022 Topps #565
Phillies 4
, Marlins 3
Game 136 - Wednesday Night, September 7th in Philadelphia
Record - 75-61, 3rd Place, 11 games behind the Mets

One Sentence Summary:  Edmundo Sosa fell a triple short of the cycle and the Phillies bullpen held on to secure the win as the Phils downed the Marlins, 4-3.

What It Means:  The Phillies continued their recovery from the awful west coast trip with another win over the Marlins.

What Happened:  Bailey Falter picked up his fourth win, pitching into the sixth inning and allowing a pair of runs on seven hits.  Andrew Bellatti and Jose Alvarado continued their strong relief work with a combined 2 2/3 scoreless innings, including four strikeouts.  Connor Brogdon gave up a run in the ninth, but recorded the final three Marlins outs to notch his second save.  Sosa hit a two-run home run the third, his second in two nights, and added an RBI double in the seventh.  Jean Segura contributed a solo home run in the fourth.

Featured Card:  We might not ever see a Phillies baseball card for Sosa, but he's got a pair of Cardinals cards so far in 2022 - one from the Heritage set and this one from the Series Two flagship release.

Field Report:  Jenna and Doug attended this game in my stead as part of the annual ALS sponsor's night at the ballpark.
