| 2016 Chachi Archives #9 |
Game 43 - Wednesday Afternoon, May 17th in San Francisco
Record - 20-23, 4th Place, 7 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Phillies starting pitcher Taijuan Walker couldn't escape the first inning and reliever Gregory Soto couldn't escape the eighth in this 7-3 loss to the Giants.
What It Means: The Giants swept the Phillies out of town. They're 0-6 so far this season in California, including the sweep at the beginning of May by the Dodgers. A six-game homestead starts on Friday night against the Cubs and Diamondbacks.
What Happened: Walker looked lost, departing after allowing four runs on four hits and a pair of walks, while recording only two outs. The bullpen held its own after that, highlighted by 2 1/3 scoreless innings from Matt Strahm, but the Giants plated three runs in the eighth against Soto. The Phillies offense was sparse. J.T. Realmuto had a two-run double in the fourth, followed by an Alec Bohm sacrifice fly.
Featured Card: Here's a fairly rare 2016 Chachi Archives card of current Giants' pitching coach Andrew Bailey. The Phillies wore throwback uniforms and pillbox hats in a game against the Brewers in early June 2016, celebrating 1970s Retro Night, and I commemorated the occasion with a set of Chachi Archives cards. Bailey, a veteran of eight big league seasons and the Giants' pitching coach since 2020, spent the 2016 season with the Phillies. He was 3-1 that year with a 6.40 ERA in 33 relief appearances.
