| 2024 Philadelphia Phillies Kids Club |
Game 26 - Thursday Afternoon, April 25th in Cincinnati
Record - 16-10, 2nd Place, 2 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Bryce Harper returned from his paternity leave, hitting a two-run home run to support Zack Wheeler's second win of the season.
What It Means: After splitting the series in Cincinnati, the Phillies next head west for three games in San Diego followed by three games in Anaheim.
What Happened: Wheeler, Orion Kerkering and Jeff Hoffman combined for the shutout, striking out 13 Reds batters. Wheeler allowed only one hit in his six innings of work, striking out eight. The Phillies scored four runs in the third inning. Nick Castellanos singled to open the frame and Bryson Stott tripled him home. Stott came home himself on a Kyle Schwarber sacrifice fly. After Trea Turner hit a ground-rule double to left, Harper connected for his fifth home run of the season, giving the Phillies a 4-0 lead. Stott would drive in another run in the sixth with an RBI single.
Featured Card: I mentioned when we last attended a Phillies' home game, we picked up the first two cards in our 2024 Phillies Kids Club set. Strategically, I chose this Harper card and the Phillie Phanatic card, assuming those would be the first two cards to "sell out" this year. Towards the end of the season last year, the Phanatic card was the first to no longer be available.
Transaction: Harper (1b) returned from the paternity list and Kody Clemens (1b) was sent back down to the IronPigs.
