Completely Unnecessary Post-Vacation Game Recap Post 10 of 10

One Sentence Summary:  The Phillies were seemingly never really in this ballgame, losing 7-3 to the Marlins.

What It Means:  That's a wrap on the first half of the 2023 season!  The Phillies limped into the All-Star Break having lost two in a row to the Marlins.  They'll send manager Rob Thomson, their entire coaching staff, Nick Castellanos and Craig Kimbrel to Seattle for the annual All-Star Game.  On Saturday, Kimbrel was named to the roster to replace the Brewers' Devin Williams.

What Happened:  Aaron Nola took the loss, giving up three home runs and five runs overall.  Old friend Jean Segura contributed a two-run single in the fourth to give the Marlins a 5-0 lead.  Edmundo Sosa hit a two-run home in the fifth for the Phillies, who had only six hits in this game.

Featured Card:  With the 27th pick in the annual amateur player draft, the Phillies selected Aidan Miller (ss) from J.W. Mitchell High School in Florida.  Miller was projected to go much higher in the draft, but his missed his senior year after breaking the hamate bone in his left hand in his first at-bat of the season.  Like I've done every year since 2014, I created a Chachi Draft Pick card for Miller, his first of hopefully many Chachi cards with the Phillies.
