Game 93 - Sunday Afternoon, July 16th in Philadelphia
Record - 51-42, 3rd Place, 10 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies impressively won this game in the 12th inning, ending a very long day of baseball with a 7-6 win over the Padres.
What It Means: The game itself was 3 1/2 hours long following a nearly 3-hour rain delay at the outset. Following an off-day Monday, the Brewers come to town for three games beginning on Tuesday night.
What Happened: Down 3-1 after five innings, the Phillies scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth to take a brief lead. Kyle Schwarber homered, J.T. Realmuto laced a two-run double down the left field line and Drew Ellis drew a bases loaded walk. The Padres tied it up, 5-5, in the eighth off reliever Gregory Soto, spoiling Zack Wheeler's potential win. Wheeler had gone seven innings, allowing three runs on a pair of home runs while striking out seven. In the 10th, both teams traded runs to prolong the game further. Finally, in the 12th, Johan Rojas bunted ghost runner Edmundo Sosa to third with a perfect sacrifice. Kyle Schwarber then lofted a sacrifice fly to left, scoring Sosa and giving the Phillies the win.

Jeff Hoffman was big out of the Phillies' bullpen, earning the win with two perfect innings of work.
Featured Card: I'll give Hoffman the Featured Card here, and it's the only card of his to date in my collection from the IronPigs team set.
