Game 4 - Phils on Pace to Go 0-162

2022 Topps Update #US246
Yankees 8
, Phillies 1
Game 4 - Monday Night, April 3rd in New York
Record - 0-4, 5th Place, 3 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Taijuan Walker and Yunior Marte got hit hard by the Yankees in this 8-1 loss, as the Phillies' bats remained quiet.

What It Means:  Yikes.

What Happened:  Walker's final line from his Phillies debut shows 4 1/3 innings pitched, four runs allowed on four hits and three walks.  Marte allowed an inherited runner to score and then gave up four runs of his own in just 1/3 of an inning.  (He'd be optioned down to Lehigh Valley on Monday.)  Brandon Marsh had an awful game, making costly mistakes in the outfield and on the base paths.  Alec Bohm had a three-hit night, raising his average through four games to .467.

Featured Card:  Marte was acquired from the Giants on January 9th for pitching prospect Erik Miller.  He made the team's bullpen after a strong spring, but after two appearances he owns a 54.00 ERA and he currently leads the league in earned runs allowed with six.  He did all of that in one inning, with all three of his outs coming on strikeouts.  Marte is waiting for his first solo mainstream baseball card, and he shared a 2022 Topps Update card with former Giants teammate Sean Hjelle.
