| 2022 Topps Throwback Thursday #132 |
Game 6 - Wednesday Afternoon, April 5th in New York
Record - 1-5, Tied for 4th Place, 4 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies fell again to the Yankees, limping home after starting the season with a 1-5 record.
What It Means: But they'll have to wait for the home opener, as it's already been postponed due to looming bad weather expected on Thursday afternoon. The 2023 home opener will now come on Friday afternoon instead.
What Happened: The Phillies website touted this game as "encouraging," which is pretty lame for a team that went to the World Series last year. Aaron Nola pitched better, and he departed in the seventh after walking the lead-off batter. Up until that point, he had allowed a pair of runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five. Gregory Soto relieved Nola and gave up a two-run home run to Jose Trevino.

The Phillies offense had five hits, including two from Bryson Stott. Jake Cave drove in their first run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh, and Kyle Schwarber hit his second home run of the season in the eighth. If they're going to start winning, they need to start stringing together some extra-base hits.
Featured Card: At least Schwarber collected a few home runs in this otherwise forgettable series. This is a Topps Throwback Thursday card, modeled after the 1962 Topps World Series subset, released last year during the Phillies' improbable postseason run.
