| 2024 Topps Now Road to Opening Day Bonus #ODB13 |
Game 123 - Saturday Night, August 17th in Philadelphia
Record - 73-50, 1st Place, 8 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: On Wall of Fame Night, Cristopher Sanchez tossed his second complete game of the season, as the Phillies defeated the Nationals, 5-1.
What It Means: The Phillies will go for a four-game sweep this afternoon. After a off-day Monday, a big road trip begins on Tuesday with three against the Braves and then three against the Royals.
What Happened: In another wonderful pre-game ceremony, former Phillies executive David Montgomery was posthumously inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame. We had bigger fish to fry on Saturday, with a college visit to Swarthmore for our oldest son, so this was the first Wall of Fame ceremony we missed since 2011.

Sanchez needed 99 pitches for his complete game win, allowing a single and a fourth inning home run to Alex Call. He struck out four on the way to his ninth win of the season. Nick Castellanos tied the game in the bottom of the fourth with an RBI double, and the Phillies plated four more runs in the sixth. Trea Turner led off with a double, and then five singles from Alec Bohm, Nick Castellanos, J.T. Realmuto, Edmundo Sosa and Johan Rojas, made it 5-1, Phillies.
Featured Card: Sanchez's cardboard appearances are still fairly sparse, and this is the "bonus" card recently mailed to purchasers of the Topps Now Road to Opening Day Phillies team set. The card was created to mark Sanchez's shutout against the Marlins in June.
Transaction: Tyler Gilbert (lhp) was recalled from Lehigh Valley and Tyler Phillips (rhp) was optioned back down. Spencer Turnbull (rhp) was moved to the 60-day injured list to make room for Gilbert on the 40-man roster.
2015 - Pat Burrell
2016 - Jim Thome
2017 - Tribute to Jim Bunning, Dallas Green and Darren Daulton
