| 2024 Topps Trading Card Day Philadelphia Phillies #PHI-3 |
Game 120 - Wednesday Night, August 14th in Philadelphia
Record - 70-50, 1st Place, 6 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Seemingly headed towards another painful defeat, Kyle Schwarber's fourth inning grand slam gave the Phillies the lead and ultimately the 9-5 win over the Marlins.
What It Means: Schwarber's big hit could not have come at a better time. With only the White Sox with a worse record since the All-Star break, and having lost four in a row, the Phillies desperately needed a win. They'll try to keep the positive momentum going with a four-game weekend set against the Nationals beginning tonight.
What Happened: Tyler Phillips spotted the Marlins five runs in his shaky outing, with the Phillies trailing 5-2 headed to the bottom of the fourth. With two outs and J.T Realmuto (walked), Edmundo Sosa (reached on fielder's choice) and Johan Rojas (singled) on base, Schwarber's slam just cleared the left-center field wall, giving the Phillies a 6-5 lead. They'd add three important insurance runs in the seventh on four straight hits - Bryce Harper doubled, Alec Bohm singled, Bryson Stott doubled and Realmuto doubled. Carlos Estevez pitched a perfect ninth to secure the win.
Featured Card: This is Schwarber's Topps Trading Card Day card, available at the ballpark as a giveaway on July 29th.
