Game 146 - Sunday Afternoon, September 18th in Atlanta
Record - 80-66, 3rd Place, 12 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Spencer Strider struck out 10 Phillies batters as the Braves completed the three-game sweep and sent Phillies fans across the nation into a postseason panic.
What It Means: Spoiler alert, the losing streak would reach five games before finally being snapped on Wednesday, but at this point things were looking grim.
What Happened: The Phillies were 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position, with their only two runs coming on solo home runs from Alec Bohm and J.T. Realmuto. Bailey Falter pitched well again, giving up a run in 4 2/3 innings, before turning the game over to the bullpen. The Phillies tied the score at 1-1 in the sixth on Bohm's home run, but the Braves would score in each of their final three at-bats off relievers Connor Brogdon, Sam Coonrod and David Robertson.
Featured Card: At the 146th game of the season, in the midst of a five-game losing streak, finding a meaningful card to attach to these game summary posts if a tough task. I featured a Braves/Phillies combo card from my collection in the Game 145 post, and here's another card featuring both franchises. Once the Phillies get back on the winning track, these card choice decisions will get much easier.
