| 2018 Philadelphia Phillies Photo Cards - 2nd Edition |
Game 95 - Wednesday Night, July 19th in Philadelphia
Record - 52-43, 2nd Place, 9 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: A costly error and a lack of timely hitting combined to cost the Phillies this game, as they fell to the Brewers, 5-3.
What It Means: A series win was still possible with a victory on Thursday afternoon. But (spoiler alert) the Phillies couldn't muster any offense in that game either.
What Happened: Two unearned runs scored off Cristopher Sanchez in the second inning after Edmundo Sosa booted a ground ball. Down 3-0, the Phillies would get a run back in the bottom of the fourth when Nick Castellanos connected for his 14th home run of the season. In the fifth, Kyle Schwarber tied the game with a two-run single to center, scoring Alec Bohm with Brandon Marsh close on Bohm's heels. But the bullpen couldn't stop the Brewers, and the Phillies were done scoring for the day. Matt Strahm allowed a run in the seventh and Andrew Bellatti gave up another costly run in the ninth.
Featured Card: In the sixth inning, Bryce Harper had a bizarre at-bat against former Phillies reliever Hoby Milner. Harper seemingly stood still while he was called out on strikes for the first out of the inning. Manager Rob Thomson would address the at-bat the next day, basically saying Harper was just trying to get a good read on Milner and ran out of time. The Phillies released two team-issued photo card sets back in 2018 (the good old days?), and this is Milner's card from the second set.
