| 2011 Topps Diamond Duos #DD-HH |
Game 145 - Saturday Night, September 17th in Atlanta
Record - 80-65, 3rd Place, 11 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Ronald Acuna, Jr. pretty much single-handedly defeated the Phillies in this 4-3 loss, extending the Phillies' losing streak to three.
What It Means: At the time of this loss, we were attending a wedding, and all hope for the postseason seemed to be slowly dwindling away.
What Happened: Aaron Nola gave up all four Braves runs in his seven-inning outing, striking out eight and seemingly keeping the Phillies in the ballgame. The Phillies scored late, but couldn't come all the way back from the 4-0 deficit. Matt Vierling hit a sacrifice fly in the fifth, then doubled home Bryson Stott in the seventh. Stott singled home Bryce Harper in the eighth for the team's third and final run. Acuna drove in all four Braves runs and made several great defensive plays in right field.
Featured Card: The well is dry, and motivation is low. Here's a Phillies/Braves combo card from the year the Phillies last saw the postseason, 2011.
