| 2024 Topps Phillies #PHI-12 |
Game 15 - Saturday Afternoon, April 13th in Philadelphia
Record - 8-7, 2nd Place, 1 game behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Nick Castellanos lined a bases-loaded ninth inning single to center, scoring the winning run and notching the Phillies' first walk-off win of 2024.
What It Means: The Phillies will go for the series win this afternoon and hope for a Braves loss against the Marlins. The Rockies come to town on Monday night for a three-game set.
What Happened: Starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull labored through four innings, allowing three runs on four hits. He departed with the Phillies trailing 3-2. The Phillies scored twice in the first inning when Kyle Schwarber led off the game with his third home run of the season, and Castellanos singled home Trea Turner, who had doubled to reach. Matt Strahm deserves a lot of credit for his two scoreless innings of relief, in which he struck out five.

The Phillies tied the game in the seventh after Aroldis Chapman entered in relief for the Pirates. Schwarber walked, went to second on a passed ball, advanced to third when Turner grounded out and came home on an Alec Bohm single.
Featured Card: By his own admittance, Castellanos has had a horrible start to his 2024 season, and hopefully his big day is the start of his turnaround. Schwarber walked to start the ninth and was replaced by pinch-runner Whit Merrifield. A walk and a wild pitch put Merrifield at third and Castellanos brought him home with his game-winning hit. Here's a sneak preview of his Topps Series Two flagship card from the 17-card Topps Phillies retail team set.
