Game 133 - Wednesday Afternoon, August 28th in Philadelphia
Record - 78-55, 1st Place, 5 1/2 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: In an absolute drubbing, Taijuan Walker suffered through his latest poor start as Astros' starter Spencer Arrighetti nearly no-hit the Phillies in this 10-0 loss.
What It Means: Flush it. The Phillies took two out of three from the Astros and the Braves are coming to town next for a huge four-game series beginning on Thursday night.
What Happened: Walker allowed six runs on 13 hits, including one of three home runs surrendered to Yordan Alvarez on the day. Michael Mercado lasted 1 1/3 innings, allowing three more home runs, including two more to Alvarez. Max Lazar and infielder-outfielder Weston Wilson pitched the final, scoreless 1 2/3 innings. The Phillies' offense had three singles, with Austin Hays breaking up the no-hitter with a lead-off infield single in the eighth.
Featured Card: I have to imagine it's the end of the road for Walker in the starting pitching rotation, and he's either demoted to the bullpen or DFA'd. He has a 6.50 ERA in 14 starts and 70 2/3 innings pitched.
Transaction: Wilson (inf-of) was activated from the paternity list and Buddy Kennedy (inf) was sent back to Lehigh Valley without seeing any action in a game.
