Game 127 - Wednesday Afternoon, August 23rd in Philadelphia
Record - 69-58, 2nd Place, 13 1/2 games behind the Braves
Second Summer Sabbatical Game Recap Catch-Up Post 4 of 10
One Sentence Summary: Following a dramatic three-run, game-tying home in the bottom of the ninth from Bryce Harper, Craig Kimbrel allowed the Giants to score three times in the top of the 10th, sending the Phillies to a disappointing loss.
What It Means: As has been the case a little too often recently, the back end of the bullpen couldn't get the job done.
What Happened: Before the eventful 9th and 10th innings, the Giants held a 5-2 lead. Michael Lorenzen started for the Phillies, allowing four runs on eight hits, including a pair of home runs. The Phillies didn't get on the board until the sixth, when Kyle Schwarber hit a solo home run, his 34th of the season. Trea Turner made it back-to-back home runs, with his 15th home run following Schwarber's blast. In the bottom of the ninth, the Phillies again got to Giants' closer Camilo Doval. Doval walked both Schwarber and Turner to start the inning before Harper's game tying home run to right.

In the top of the 10th, Kimbrel walked the first batter and hit the second. Paul DeJong brought two runs home with a single to center, and another run would later score on a sacrifice fly. The Phillies scored one last run in the bottom of the 10th when Edmundo Sosa doubled home ghost runner J.T. Realmuto, but it wasn't enough.
Featured Card: Prior to Tuesday's game, current Giants' infielder Johan Camargo received his 2022 National League Champions ring. Camargo, a holdover from the Joe Girardi days, played in 52 games last season for the Phillies, batting .237. I have two of his cards in my Phillies collection, last year's team-issued photo card and this surprising inclusion in last year's Topps Now Road to Opening Day set.
