Completely Unnecessary Post-Vacation Game Recap Post 6 of 10

One Sentence Summary:  After a messy start to this game, the Phillies scored five unanswered runs to eventually win over the Rays, 8-4.

What It Means:  This was the 11th win in a row on the road, the team's longest road win streak since a 13-game win streak in 1976.

What Happened:  The Rays held a 4-3 lead after four innings with the Phillies receiving RBI singles from Alec Bohm, Darick Hall and J.T. Realmuto.  In the fifth, Trea Turner tied it up with a solo home run off the foul pole in left field.  Bryson Stott would add an RBI single later in the inning, one of his four hits for the day.  In the sixth, All-Star Nick Castellanos launched a solo home run to center field, his 13th of the season, tying his entire home run output from 2022.  Brandon Marsh added a two-run single in the seventh to complete the scoring for the day.

Taijuan Walker won his 10th of the season, pitching seven solid innings and allowing four runs on five hits while striking out eight.  Gregory Soto and Jeff Hoffman pitched the final two shutout innings for the Phillies.

Featured Card:  I'll give the game post featured card to Stott, largely on the strength of his four hits, but also because I'm out of cards to feature for Walker (for now).  This is Stott's Phillies Kids Club card, available as a ballpark promotion with membership into the eponymous club.
