IronPigs (Series 2) #27

Only the most diehard of Phillies fans will recall the one day during the 2025 season Brett de Geus spent on the active roster, appearing in one game on May 29th.  de Geus was added to the active roster that day as the 27th man for a double header against the Braves.  He'd pitch in the second game, walking three, allowing a hit and giving up a ninth inning run in a 9-3 loss.  He was sent back to the IronPigs following the double header and designated for assignment when his 40-man roster spot was needed for the newly-acquired Harrison Bader.  He'd return to the IronPigs briefly before being released on August 17th.  de Geus was 3-1 with a 5.35 ERA in 29 games and 37 innings pitched for the IronPigs.

Game 2

2025 Choice Lehigh Valley
IronPigs #29

Thursday Night, May 29th

Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA
36-20, 1st Place, 2 games ahead of the Mets

One Sentence Summary:  Zack Wheeler just didn't have it and Chris Sale made easy work of the Phillies line-up in this 9-3 defeat.

What It Means:  The Phillies have won nine of their last ten series, and Rhys Hoskins and the Brewers come to town next for a weekend set.

What Happened:  Wheeler gave up four runs in the fourth and he'd be charged with two more runs in the sixth after Carlos Hernandez allowed both his inherited runners to score.  The Braves would add three more runs against relievers Joe Ross and Brett de Geus.  The Phillies pushed across three runs in the late innings, but it wasn't nearly enough to overcome the early deficit.  Sale pitched six shutout innings and struck out eight in his outing.

Featured Card:  de Geus, on the roster as the 27th man for the double header, made his Phillies debut, walking three, allowing a hit and giving up a ninth inning run. The Phillies are the sixth team the pitcher has appeared for over parts of three big league seasons.  His longest stint came in 2021 when he relieved in 28 games for the Diamondbacks.  de Geus has a card in this year's IronPigs' team set.

Transaction:  Following the game, it was announced the Phillies had acquired Josh Walker (lhp) from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations.  The Phillies had an open spot on their 40-man roster.
