Game 102 - Wednesday Night, July 26th in Philadelphia
Record - 55-47, 2nd Place, 10 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Jake Cave made a game-saving catch in left field and Edmundo Sosa hit a game-winning home run in the seventh, as the Phillies defeated the Orioles, 6-4.
What It Means: The Phillies took two out of three from the first place Orioles. They'll open up a weekend series in Pittsburgh on Friday night, following Thursday's off day.
What Happened: Adeley Rutschman hit a three-run home run off Phillies' starter Ranger Suarez in the third inning to give the Orioles a 3-0 lead. The Phillies would battle back. Cave doubled home Brandon Marsh and Nick Castellanos singled home Cave in the bottom of the third. The Phillies took a brief 4-3 lead in the fourth when J.T. Realmuto doubled home both Alec Bohm and Bryson Stott. In the top of the sixth, with the tying run on second, Cave made his leaping catch, crashing into the left field wall to retire Ramon Urias and end the inning. Seranthony Dominguez entered in the seventh, and couldn't keep the Orioles off the board. Austin Hays singled home James McCann to tie the game up, 4-4. Sosa's home run came with two outs in the seventh, and a few batters later Bryce Harper would add an RBI single to give the Phillies a 6-4 lead.

Craig Kimbrel pitched a perfect eighth and Gregory Soto pitched a perfect ninth to cement the win. Soto recorded his second save of the season.
Featured Card: Cave, who had an incredible run with the Triple-A IronPigs, went 2 for 4 in this game with his RBI double and highlight reel catch. He missed being included in the IronPigs team set, so I currently have no cards of his in my Phillies baseball card collection. Here's one of his earlier cards, an insert from the 2019 Topps set, and a potential preview of what I think the 2024 Chachi set could look like.
