| 2017 Topps Allen & Ginter #313 |
Game 5 - Tuesday Night, April 4th in New York
Record - 1-4, Tied for 4th Place, 3 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Just like everyone had predicted, it was a strong start from reliever Matt Strahm that led to the first Phillies victory of 2023.
What It Means: For the first time in five games, the entirety of the game was enjoyable to watch.
What Happened: Strahm got the start due to Ranger Suarez's injury, and he was fantastic. He allowed one hit in four innings while walking a batter and striking out three. Andrew Bellatti was credited with the win after a perfect fifth inning. Craig Kimbrel made things interesting in the ninth with a run allowed, but he recorded the final out to secure the victory.

Kyle Schwarber and Brandon Marsh both hit their first home runs of the season, with Schwarber and Trea Turner adding much-needed runs with RBI singles in the fifth.
Featured Card: I think I like Strahm. He's appeared on a surprising amount of baseball cards since 2015, including a lot with the Royals featuring him clean-shaven and with short hair. He's pretty much unrecognizable on his 2017 Topps Allen & Ginter card, shown here.
Transactions: Before the game, McKinley Moore (rhp) had his contract selected from Lehigh Valley and Yunior Marte (rhp) was optioned down. To make room for Moore on the 40-man roster, Jhailyn Ortiz (of) was designated for assignment.
