Game 72 - Rincones Stars in Win Over Marlins

Miami Marlins  0 
Philadelphia Phillies  7 

2024 Topps Pro Debut
Autographs #PD-54
Monday Night, June 15th
Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA
39-33, 2nd Place, 7 1/2 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Gabriel Rincones, Jr. connected for his first big league hit - a solo home run in the second - and knocked in another run in the third in this 7-0 win over the Marlins.

What It Means:  I'm hoping the offense shows up two games in a row as Jesus Luzardo faces off against Tyler Phillips and the Marlins tonight.

What Happened:  Rincones' big moment supported another solid start from Zack Wheeler.  Wheeler improved to 6-1 and saw his ERA drop to 2.01 as he went six innings, allowing a pair of hits and striking out nine.  Tim Mayza, Jonathan Bowlan and Chase Shugart shut down the Marlins over the final three innings.  J.T. Realmuto stayed hot, hitting a two-run home run in the fifth.  Brandon Marsh, Justin Crawford and Edmundo Sosa all enjoyed multi-hit games.  The slumping Trea Turner left the game in the sixth after being hit on the wrist by a William Kempner fastball.

Featured Card:  I have 14 Rincones cards in my Phillies collection, including this autographed card from the 2024 Topps Pro Debut set.

Transaction:  Steward Berroa (of) was activated from the paternity list and optioned to Lehigh Valley.
