Game 16 - Phillies Offense Unloads on Reds Pitching

2022 Bowman Heritage #84
Phillies 14
, Reds 3
Game 16 - Sunday Afternoon, April 16th in Cincinnati
Record - 6-10, 4th Place, 6 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  The Phillies didn't let up on Sunday afternoon, unleashing 23 hits and 14 runs and leaving Cincinnati in a winning mood.

What It Means:  A day after being shut out by the Reds, 13-0, the Phillies returned the favor (plus one extra run) in this thrashing.  The win gave them a four-game series split and they'll head to Chicago next to take on the White Sox, who also have a disappointing 6-10 record.

What Happened:  Bryson Stott started things off in the first, hitting his first career lead-off home run and extending his season-opening hitting streak to 16 games.  That ties Stott with Puddin' Head Jones for the longest Phillies hitting streak to open a season in the modern era, as Jones began the 1950 season hitting safely in his first 16 games.  Brandon Marsh had a four-hit day, while Stott, Trea Turner, J.T. Realmuto and Alec Bohm all had three hits a piece.  Realmuto hit a seventh inning home run, his second of the season.

Aaron Nola was the recipient of the offense, earning his first win while pitching six strong innings.

Featured Card:  This Stott card arrived over the weekend, and it's from the recently released 2022 Bowman Heritage set, which pays tribute to the original 1994 Bowman design.

Transaction:  Luis F. Ortiz (rhp) was recalled from Lehigh Valley to take McKinley Moore's (rhp) spot on the roster.  Ortiz made his Phillies debut in the ninth, striking out a pair in a scoreless inning.
