Game 20 - Phils Look Lifeless in Loss to Rockies

2023 Topps #283
Rockies 5
, Phillies 0
Game 20 - Thursday Night, April 20th in Philadelphia
Record - 8-12, 4th Place, 6 1/2 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Ryan Feltner and two Rockies relievers baffled the Phillies line-up, as the Rockies prevailed, 5-0.

What It Means:  The Rockies entered this series with a 5-14 record and having lost eight in a row.  They had been swept by the Mariners and Pirates, with the Pirates scoring 14 runs off the Rockies' pitching staff twice.  The Phillies line-up looked awful and wasted a solid start from Matt Strahm.

What Happened:  Strahm allowed a first inning two-run home run to C.J. Cron, but then settled in for the next five innings.  He'd pitch into the sixth, and his final line shows three runs allowed on three hits and 11 strikeouts.  The Phillies had six hits and went 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position, with the one hit an infield single.

Featured Card:  Hopefully Strahm gets a few Phillies cards in late season releases, and this is his newest mainstream card from 2023 Topps Series One.
