| 2024 Topps Big League #161 |
Game 7 - Friday Night, April 5th in Washington
Record - 3-4, 2nd Place, 1 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Aaron Nola had a decent rebound outing and three other relievers combined with Nola to shut out the Nationals, 4-0.
What It Means: The Phillies need to continue to take advantage of lesser teams, not letting up during this Nationals series.
What Happened: Nola pitched into the sixth inning, giving up a pair of hits while striking out four. Matt Strahm, Seranthony Dominguez and Jose Alvarado shut down the Nationals the rest of the way. The Phillies plated three runs in the first. Alec Bohm singled, with Bryson Stott and Nick Castellanos walking to load the bases. Brandon Marsh brought home Bohm with a sacrifice fly, and Kyle Schwarber singled home two more runs a few batters later. Bryce Harper added an RBI single in the seventh, his third hit of the day.
Featured Card: My 2024 Topps Big League team set arrived on Friday, and this is Nola's card from the set. Topps Big League has taken the place of Topps Opening Day as the "low-end" set option for collectors, and I've been a fan of the set since it was first introduced in 2018.
Transaction: The Phillies acquired Jose Rodriguez (inf) from the Chicago White Sox for cash considerations. Rodriguez appeared in one game last year for the White Sox as a pinch-runner, scoring a run. He's a top prospect, so it's odd the White Sox would simply let him go, and we'll have to wait and see how Rodriguez fits into the Phillies' future plans. His rookie card appears in Topps Series One.
