Game 118 - Sunday Afternoon, August 11th in Phoenix
Record - 69-49, 1st Place, 7 1/2 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies continued to find ways to lose, with Cristopher Sanchez and Jose Alvarado struggling and sloppy defense in this 12-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.
What It Means: The Phillies finished a long west coast road trip with a respectable 4-6 record. It could have been better, but it could have been a lot worse. With the Braves struggling, they managed to add 2 1/2 games in the standings despite the rough few weeks. The Marlins and Nationals are in Philadelphia for the next six games, beginning on Tuesday night.
What Happened: Sanchez gave up seven runs on 12 hits in 4 2/3 innings and the bullpen allowed five more runs before this game was over. The Diamondbacks seemed to always have runners on base throughout the entire game, with Jake McCarthy, Adrian Del Castillo and Kevin Newman all having three-hit games.
Featured Card: The 2024 Summer Olympics ended on Sunday, and here's a card of Mickey Morandini who was a member of Team USA at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. Baseball was still a demonstration sport that year, but USA defeated Japan to win the tournament.
Transaction: The Phillies claimed Kyle Tyler (rhp) off waivers from the Miami Marlins and optioned him to Lehigh Valley. To make room on the 40-man roster for Tyler, Nick Nelson (rhp) was designated for assignment.
