Game 109 - Lorenzen Delivers in Phillies Debut

2021 Topps Heritage #568
Phillies 4
, Marlins 2
Game 109 - Thursday Afternoon, August 3rd in Miami
Record - 59-50, 2nd Place, 11 1/2 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Michael Lorenzen was fantastic in his Phillies debut, leading his new team to a 4-2 win over the Marlins.

What It Means:  The Phillies took three out of four from the Marlins and head home for a 10-game homestand against the Royals, Nationals and Twins.  They hold the second Wild Card spot, a game behind the Giants in the loss column for the top Wild Card spot.

What Happened:  Lorenzen went eight innings, allowing a pair of runs on six hits and striking out five.  Seranthony Dominguez closed it out to record his second save of the season.  J.T. Realmuto hit a two-run home run in the second and Brandon Marsh added a two-run single in the seventh.  Trea Turner was dropped to eighth in the line-up and went 0 for 3.

Featured Card:  Lorenzen has been appearing in Topps products since 2010, and his first appearance in a Topps flagship set came in 2015.  Originally an outfielder, he's made 34 appearances in the majors in the outfield, including six starts in center field for the Reds in 2019.  This is his very non-pitcherish card from the 2021 Topps Heritage set.
