Game 114 - Schwarbombs x 3 Lead to Big Win

2024 Topps Big League
To the Moon #TM-29
Phillies 9
Dodgers 4
Game 114 - Late Wednesday Night, August 7th in Los Angeles
Record - 68-46, 1st Place, 7 1/2 games ahead of the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Kyle Schwarber launched three home runs and drove in seven runs in this 9-4 series-clinching win over the Dodgers.

What It Means:  The Phillies had lost their last six series, and this was their first series win since sweeping the Dodgers at home in early July.  A four-game set in Phoenix is coming up next.

What Happened:  This was the Schwarber game, with the slugger hitting home runs in the first, leading off the game, in the sixth, with a pair of runners on, and in the ninth, another solo shot.  Schwarber's big day supported Tyler Phillips, who improved to 4-1 with five innings of work, allowing four runs.

Featured Card:  No doubt about it, this win can be completely credited to Schwarber.  This insert from Topps Big League seemed appropriate for this post.
