| 2022 Topps Throwback Thursday #77 |
Game 159 - Thursday Night, September 28th in Philadelphia
Record - 89-70, 2nd Place, 14 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies looked fairly flat in this series finale loss, also the final regular home game of the 2023 season.
What It Means: The Phillies will be back at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday for Game 1 of the Wild Card Series.
What Happened: Kyle Schwarber led off the bottom of the first with his 46th home run of the season, tying his league leading total from 2022. Jared Triolo doubled home a run for the Pirates in the top of the third, tying the score at 1-1. Triolo gave his club the lead in the top of the fifth with another RBI double, and Jack Suwinski singled home the Pirates' third run of the day a batter later. The Phillies would score their final run in the eighth after Trea Turner doubled, stole third and came home on a throwing error from catcher Jason Delay.
Featured Card: In the bottom of the third, Bryce Harper checked his swing on a 3-2 count and was ruled to have swung by third base umpire Angel Hernandez. Harper had some justifiable words for Hernandez and was promptly tossed from the ballgame. Harper went a little nuts on Hernandez and threw his helmet into the stands on his way into the Phillies' dugout. I went through recent Phillies binders looking for a card to represent Harper's rage, and I thought this one would be appropriate to feature. From last year, this is a Throwback Thursday online exclusive card using the design of the 1979 Topps Incredible Hulk set.
