Game 117 - D-Backs Mash Nola, Marte in Lopsided Loss

2024 Choice Reading Fightin
Phils (1st Edition) #22
Diamondbacks 11
Phillies 1
Game 117 - Saturday Night, August 10th in Phoenix
Record - 69-48, 1st Place, 7 1/2 games ahead of the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Aaron Nola labored, Yunior Marte threw some BP and the Phillies offense was once again missing in this 11-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

What It Means:  The Phillies will attempt to tie the series and avoid a series loss this afternoon.

What Happened:  Battling a lack of command, Nola threw 88 pitches over five innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on nine hits and three walks.  Marte retired just two batters in the seventh, giving up a pair of home runs and seven runs overall.  The Phillies scored in the fifth when Kyle Schwarber walked, Trea Turner doubled, and Bryce Harper grounded out to short to bring Schwarber home.  Overall, the offense was 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position.

Featured Card:  Max Lazar made his big league debut following Marte's implosion, retiring all four batters he faced and striking out Joc Pederson for his first strikeout.  To date, the only Lazar card in my collection is from the first Reading Fightin Phils team set released earlier this year.
