| 2023 Topps Phillies #PHI-15 |
Game 35 - Sunday Afternoon, May 7th in Philadelphia
Record - 16-19, 4th Place, 8 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Taijuan Walker and Kyle Schwarber emerged from lengthy slumps to help lead the Phillies to this 6-1 win over the Red Sox.
What It Means: It's a weird schedule this week with off days Monday and Thursday, and a quick two-game series against the Blue Jays in between.
What Happened: Walker went six strong innings, allowing just a run (a solo home run) and three hits. He walked none while striking out six, which was a great sign. Jose Alvarado and Matt Strahm went the final three innings, with starter turned reliever Strahm picking up his first save with the Phillies.

Kyle Schwarber, who had been mired in an awful slump, went 2 for 3 with an RBI single in the fourth and a mammoth, two-run home run to right in the sixth. J.T. Realmuto also had a pair of hits and two RBIs.
Featured Card: This is Schwarber's card from the Topps Phillies team set, now available for sale at the ballpark. It's a preview of what his card from Series Two will likely look like.
