| 2024 Topps Heritage #161 |
Game 19 - Wednesday Night, April 17th in Philadelphia
Record - 11-8, 2nd Place, 2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies survived a late-inning blow-up by the bullpen to win 7-6 against the Rockies and complete a three-game sweep.
What It Means: The Phillies are three games above .500 and the last place White Sox will come to Philadelphia for a three-game series beginning Friday night.
What Happened: Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner led off the game with back-to-back home runs off Rockies' starting pitcher Ryan Feltner. Two more runs would score in the inning following a J.T. Realmuto single, an RBI double from Alec Bohm and an RBI single from Brandon Marsh. Schwarber homered again in the sixth, his fifth of the year, giving the Phillies a commanding 7-1 lead. Cristopher Sanchez pitched effectively through six innings, allowing an unearned run on five hits while striking out 10. Turner finished the game a triple short of the cycle.

Gregory Soto got hit hard in the eighth, and five Rockies runs would score off him and Jeff Hoffman, with all the runs credited to Soto. Thankfully, Jose Alvarado had an easy ninth inning as he notched his third save.
Featured Card: Topps Heritage is out! Like a lot of collectors, I've been waiting for Topps to pay tribute to the iconic 1975 set since the Topps Heritage line began in 2001. I'll be working my way through the Phillies team set in these posts, beginning with the Schwarber card shown here.

Field Report: Given the earlier than usual start time of 6:05 due to the competing Sixers game, Doug and I arrived a little later than usual, settling into our seats in the bottom of the first inning. Fortunately, we were in time to see the back-to-back home runs from Schwarber and Turner to start the game. We also signed up for the new teen Club 215 fan club, which will allow us to build the 21-card baseball card set available to club members, one per card per game attended.
