Game 130 - Sunday Afternoon, August 27th in Philadelphia
Record - 72-58, 2nd Place, 12 1/2 games behind the Braves
Second Summer Sabbatical Game Recap Catch-Up Post 7 of 10
One Sentence Summary: Aaron Nola, Jose Alvarado and Craig Kimbrel combined for this two-hit shutout of the Cardinals, as the Phillies completed the three-game sweep.
What It Means: The plummeting Cardinals were outscored 22-3 in this weekend series.
What Happened: Nola won his 12th game, allowing just a hit and a walk while striking out nine. Alvarado pitched a scoreless eighth, and Kimbrel closed it out for his 20th save. Kyle Schwarber launched the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the first into center field for his 36th home run. Trea Turner contributed a sacrifice fly in the fifth, and Bryce Harper added an RBI single in the seventh.
Featured Card: Nola notched his 1,554th career strikeout in this game, moving him into a tie for fifth place on the team's all-time leaderboard. His next strikeout will pass Curt Schilling on that list, and he may pass Chris Short this season, who is fourth on the list with 1,585. The top three are still a ways off for Nola - Cole Hamels (1,844), Robin Roberts (1,871) and Steve Carlton (3,031). This is Nola's card from the ballpark-exclusive Phillies Kids Club set, and we completed the full 12-card set on our last ballpark visit before our Disney trip.
