Dodger Stadium - Los Angeles, CA
91-62, 1st Place, 12 1/2 games ahead of the Mets
91-62, 1st Place, 12 1/2 games ahead of the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Blake Snell threw seven shutout innings, striking out 12, in this 5-0 win over the Phillies.
What It Means: The hangover had to come sooner or later, and it apparently waited to arrive for the last game of this series.
What Happened: If I had to completely miss one game of this Dodgers series, I'm glad I missed this one. The Phillies' offense had just three singles in the game, with only two allowed by Snell and the other coming off reliever Tanner Scott in the ninth inning. Jesus Luzardo took the loss, allowing four runs on six hits over seven innings of work. He exited in the eighth inning after Shohei Ohtani hit his 51st home run of the season.
Featured Card: Clayton Kershaw announced his retirement from baseball the day after this game, as the legendary left-hander decided this would be his last season. That made me check to see how many Kershaw cards I have in my Phillies Collection, and I was surprised to learn I had nine of his cards in my collection, all of them showing him paired with a Phillies pitcher. This is the best one I have, in my opinion, showing a quartet of some of the all-time greatest left-handed pitchers in the history of the game.
