Game 149 - Thursday Night, September 22nd in Philadelphia

One Sentence Summary: Ranger Suarez, Zach Eflin and Jose Alvarado combined to shut out the Braves in this crucial 1-0 victory.
What It Means: For me, I'm behind with my game summary posts for three reasons. My work schedule has picked up, I took my last work trip of the year to Dallas this past week and my scanner has decided to stop working which makes it less convenient to scan baseball cards for these posts. But I plan to slowly fill in the gaps over the weekend.

For the Phillies, they have a 2 1/2 game lead over the Brewers for the third Wild Card spot and they're a half game behind the Padres for the second Wild Card. The team's magic number to reach the postseason is 10, and this win clinched their second straight winning season.
What Happened: Suarez went six innings, allowing five hits and then yielded to Eflin who went 1 2/3 innings, striking out three. It was Eflin's third appearance out of the bullpen since his return from the injured list. Jose Alvarado recorded the final four outs to clinch his second save of the season. The Phillies' only run came on a second inning sacrifice fly from Matt Vierling, made possibly when J.T. Realmuto went first to third on a single by Jean Segura.
Featured Card: Alvarado has rarely given me reason to feature him in a game summary post, but since his demotion to Lehigh Valley earlier in the season he's become one of the most important members of the Phillies bullpen. Since the beginning of August, he's made 19 appearances, walking four and striking out 27 over 17 2/3 innings, with an ERA of 0.51. His two Phillies baseball cards to date can be found in the 2022 team-issued photo card set and the 2022 Topps Now Road to Opening Day set.
