| 2020 Topps Chrome Update Autographs #USA-NM |
Game 6 - Wednesday Night, April 3rd in Philadelphia
Record - 2-4, 3rd Place, 1 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler pitched well, but once again a lack of offense and shaky defense sunk the Phils in this rainy 4-1 loss to the Reds.
What It Means: Originally scheduled for 1:05 on Wednesday afternoon, this game was moved to 4:05 on account of the rain in the forecast, and then delayed almost four hours before the first pitch was thrown around 8pm. The Phillies' offense looked as if they couldn't get it going after the lengthy wait to play.
What Happened: From the Phillies standpoint, not a whole lot. The Phillies pushed across a run when Kyle Schwarber lined a home run into the right field bleachers in the sixth inning. Other than that, the offense had five singles and went 0 for 2 with runners in scoring position. Trea Turner and Nick Castellanos went a combined 0 for 6, dropping their averages to .217 and .150 respectively. Wheeler allowed three runs, but only one earned, while striking out 10. Bryson Stott had a rare error in the third inning, leading to the two unearned runs.
Featured Card: Reds' DH Nick Martini went 1 for 4 in this game, and he's coming back down to earth after hitting two opening day home runs. Martini spent all of 2020 in the Phillies' system as part of the pandemic-era taxi squad hanging out in Lehigh Valley. He never appeared in a game, but that didn't stop Topps from giving him a Phillies card in the 2020 Topps Chrome Update set.
