Game 148 - Saturday Night, September 16th in St. Louis
Record - 81-67, 2nd Place, 15 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Kyle Schwarber broke the game open with a three-run home run in the fifth inning and the Phillies would go on to win, 6-1.
What It Means: With 14 games remaining, the Phillies are five games up in the loss column for a Wild Card spot. They lead the Cubs by 3 1/2 games for the top spot. They'll go for a series sweep of the Cardinals behind Taijuan Walker this afternoon.
What Happened: Ranger Suarez pitched six innings, allowing a run on four hits and then turned it over to the bullpen. The bullpen, once again highlighted by Jeff Hoffman's outing, shut the Cardinals down over the remaining three innings. The bottom of the Phillies' order - Nick Castellanos, Brandon Marsh and Johan Rojas - were a combined 6 for 11 with a pair of RBIs and three runs scored.
Featured Card: Schwaber's shot was a laser line drive that just cleared the right field wall, and was his 44th home run of the year. At .197, his average is inching towards the Mendoza line. I featured Castellanos' card from the 2022 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary set in Friday's game summary post, and here's Schwarber's card from the same set.
