Game 35 - Nola Catches Fish, Phils Win Series

Philadelphia Phillies  1 
Miami Marlins  0 

2025 Topps Archives #3
Monday Night, May 4th
loanDepot park - Miami, FL
15-20, 4th Place, 9 1/2 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  A solo home run from Bryce Harper and six shutout innings from Aaron Nola led to this 1-0 Phillies win over the Marlins.

What It Means:  The Phillies won the series and headed home for a six-game set against the Athletics and Rockies.

What Happened:  Nola gave up five hits and walked none while striking out five in his solid outing.  The bullpen trio of Tanner Banks, Jose Alvarado and Brad Keller finished up the shutout, with Keller earning his second save of the season.  Harper hit his seventh home run of the year in the third inning, accounting for all the scoring in the game.  The slugger had three hits on the day.

Featured Card:  How do I not have any 2026 Nola cards in my collection yet?  Topps seems to largely ignore the former ace of the staff, although they did include him in last year's Topps Archives set.
