Game 7 - Phils' Offense Unloads Early in Denver

Philadelphia Phillies  10 
Colorado Rockies  1 

2026 Topps #335
Friday Afternoon, April 3rd
Coors Field - Denver, CO
4-3, 3rd Place, 1 1/2 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  The Phillies ruined the Rockies' home opener, jumping on starter Michael Lorenzen for seven first inning runs in this 10-1 thrashing.

What It Means:  The offense has life, and this was a great way to start the West Coast road trip.

What Happened:   Lorenzen was hit early and often, allowing six hits and walking a pair in the first as the Phillies batted around.  Trea Turner doubled, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper walked to load the bases.  Alec Bohm brought two runs home with a line drive single to center and Bryson Stott plated another with an RBI double.  The big blow was a three-run home run from the hot-hitting Brandon Marsh.  Turner collected his second hit of the inning to drive home the seventh run.  Harper hit a solo home run in the second, and Schwarber hit a bomb of a home run in the fifth.

Aaron Nola was the beneficiary of the run support, picking up his first win of the season.  Nola went 6 1/3 innings, allowing a run on five hits and striking out nine.

Featured Card:  Nola is definitely deserving of the card, but I'll give it to Marsh, who was batting .320 following this game.
