What It Means: I am so glad I decided to turn this game off in the fourth inning and go to bed.
What Happened: Zack Wheeler did his job, pitching six strong innings and allowing two hits while striking out nine. The offense couldn't get anything going against the Giants, who went with a bullpen game. The Phillies left nine runners on base and were 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position.

In the 10th, with no score in the game, ghost runner Brandon Marsh started at second and was moved to third when Kody Clemens grounded out to first. Alec Bohm and J.T. Realmuto couldn't push across Marsh and the game went to the bottom of the 10th. Matt Strahm gave up a few fly balls as the Giants scored the winning run on a sac fly to left.
Featured Card: The reliever who went the longest out of the Giants' bullpen was former Phillies' prospect Spencer Howard, making his Giants debut. Spencer threw four scoreless innings, scattering five hits and striking out four. Here's one of Howard's many, many Phillies cards issued in 2021.
