Game 84 - Tuesday Afternoon, July 4th in St. Petersburg
Record - 45-39, 3rd Place, 11 1/2 games behind the Braves
Completely Unnecessary Post-Vacation Game Recap Post 5 of 10
One Sentence Summary: Aaron Nola out-dueled former teammate Zach Eflin as the Phillies held on to beat the Rays, 3-1.
What It Means: These catch-up posts are going quicker than I thought they would? A three-hour rain delay for the Phillies the day I'm catching up (July 16th) is certainly helping things out.
What Happened: The Phillies took a 1-0 lead in the second on back-to-back doubles from Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm. Nola and Eflin exchanged zeroes after that until the top of the seventh when Bryce Harper doubled, went to third on a Wander Franco error and scored on Stott's single to right. The Phillies went up 3-0 in the eighth when Harper drove home Kyle Schwarber with an RBI single. Nola's only blemish came in the bottom of the eighth when he gave up a solo home to Franco, chasing him from the game. Craig Kimbrel pitched a perfect ninth, including two strikeouts, recording his 13th save.
Featured Card: Nola's line was impressive - 7 1/3 innings, 5 hits, 1 run, 1 walk and 12 strikeouts. Here's his card from the Topps Heritage set, which does a great job using the baby blue throwback uniform.
