| 2021 Topps Heritage #304 |
Game 3 - Sunday Night, April 2nd in Arlington
Record - 0-3, 5th Place, 2 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies' offense couldn't provide enough runs to support Bailey Falter and his solid outing.
What It Means: Let's just move on from this series, shall we? Four games in, and I'm already playing catch-up which is more a reflection on my work schedule this time of year and not necessarily the Phillies' poor play.
What Happened: Falter went 5 1/3 innings, allowing a Josh Jung solo home run in the second and a Marcus Semien RBI-single in the fifth. The Phillies' only run scored when Josh Harrison grounded into a double play in the fourth, scoring Nick Castellanos. Cristian Pache got his first start with the Phillies and went 0 for 3 while leaving six runners on base. Gregory Soto pitched a perfect inning to lower his ERA from infinity to 27.00.
Featured Card: Pache was the top prospect in the Braves' system not too long ago, but he's struggled mightily at the plate in his short time in the majors. In March 2022, he was the centerpiece of a package of four prospects shipped to Oakland in exchange for slugging first baseman Matt Olson. He's apparently a defensive wizard though, and this Topps Heritage card from 2021 shows him appropriately enough, In Action.

I was at the game, looked like they weren't firing on all cylinders.
