1998 Upper Deck Collector's Choice #258 |
Game 30 - Late Monday Night, May 1st in Los Angeles
Record - 15-15, 4th Place, 4 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Taijuan Walker had another rough outing, as the Dodgers pounded Walker and the Phillies' bullpen, 13-4.
What It Means: With Bryce Harper miraculously set to return to the Phillies line-up on Tuesday night, the game action here seemed secondary. I made it through 1 1/2 innings before calling it a night, so I missed most of the damage.
What Happened: Walker gave up eight runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings, including three home runs. The bullpen surrendered five more runs, with Kody Clemens making his pitching debut, and striking out Michael Busch in the eighth. Kody and his father Roger now have a combined 4,673 major league strikeouts. Kyle Schwarber hit a solo home run (his seventh) in the fourth inning.
Featured Card: I have two Roger Clemens baseball cards in my Phillies collection. I featured the 1999 Sports Illustrated card pairing him with Curt Schilling back in March. This is the second card, from the 1998 Collector's Choice set, also pairing him with Schilling.
