| 2024 Topps Big League #174 |
Game 10 - Monday Night, April 8th in St. Louis
Record - 5-5, 2nd Place, 1 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Alec Bohm came through with a go-ahead double in the 10th as the Phillies hung on to beat the Cardinals, 5-3.
What It Means: The Phillies reached .500 (briefly) for the first time in 2024.
What Happened: Spencer Turnbull and Miles Mikolas were locked in a pitcher's duel at the outset of this game, with the Phillies scoring first in the fifth inning. Three straight singles from Brandon Marsh, Garrett Stubbs and Johan Rojas resulted in the first Phillies run, and Trea Turner added a fourth single to score Stubbs. The Cardinals got on the board in the seventh when Ivan Herrera greeted Seranthony Dominguez with a lead-off home run. Marsh got the run back with a solo home run in the top of the ninth, making it 3-1 Phillies, but then reliever Jeff Hoffman couldn't close out the Cardinals in the bottom of the inning. A lead-off walk, a double and a sacrifice fly plated the first run and Masyn Winn tied it with a single to left with two outs.

In the top of the 10th, ghost and pinch-runner Cristian Pache started at second, Bryce Harper was intentionally walked and Bohm doubled Pache home. Bryson Stott would score Harper on a sacrifice fly to give Gregory Soto a two-run cushion in the bottom of the inning. Soto earned his first save of the year.
Featured Card: This is already the second game of the 2024 season featuring a Bohm card, and hopefully there are many more to come. This is his card from the Topps Big League set.
