Weston Wilson toiled in the minor league system of the Milwaukee Brewers for six seasons, missing all of the pandemic season of 2020, without getting a call to the majors.  The Phillies made the call on August 6th, and Wilson immediately rewarded them with a home run in his first big league plate appearance a few days later.  His big blast was overshadowed somewhat, as it came in the game Michael Lorenzen made his first home start with the Phillies and threw a no-hitter.  Wilson had been playing as the regular shortstop for the Triple-A IronPigs, but he's also seen time this season at first base, third base and both corner outfield spots.  With the Phillies so far, through Saturday, he's appeared in four games, going 2 for 5 with one memorable home run.
