Game 73 - Phils Stun Padres with Walk-Off Win

2024 Topps Heritage #270
Phillies 4
Padres 3
Game 73 - Tuesday Night, June 18th in Philadelphia
Record - 49-24, 1st Place, 8 games ahead of the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  The Phillies strung together four straight ninth inning hits, capped by a game-winning double from Nick Castellanos, to walk-off with a 4-3 win over the Padres.

What It Means:  Trailing 3-1 heading to the bottom of the eighth, the Phillies rallied for three runs to take the walk-off win.  They'd go for a series sweep on Wednesday afternoon, but fall a little short.

What Happened:  Castellanos doubled in the fourth and Brandon Marsh singled him home to give the Phillies a 1-0 lead.  In the sixth, the Padres touched starter Aaron Nola for three runs, including a two-run home run from Luis Campusano.  Kyle Schwarber got a run back in the eighth with a solo home run, his 17th of the season.

In the ninth, with Padres' closer Robert Suarez on the mound, Bryce Harper singled, Alec Bohm singled and Bryson Stott singled to drive home Harper and tie the game.  Castellanos quickly followed with his game-winning double, and the Phillies needed just seven pitches to hand Suarez his first blown save of the season.

Featured Card:  Castellanos is hitting .250 (17 for 68) so far in June, with seven doubles, a pair of home runs and seven RBIs.  He was 4 for 5 in this game, and this is his card from this year's Topps Heritage set.
