Game 51 - Thursday Afternoon, May 23rd in Philadelphia
Record - 37-14, 1st Place, 6 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler's solid start and a two-run triple from Cristian Pache led to this 5-2 win over the Rangers, completing the series sweep.
What It Means: The Phillies have won 29 of their last 35 games, tying the franchise record (set in 1892!) for most wins in a 35-game span. This also marked their seventh series sweep of 2024. Things are going well.

I tried to watch as much of this game as possible while toiling away in my office.
What Happened: Wheeler won his sixth game of the year, allowing a pair of runs on five hits while striking out five. Jose Alvarado and Jeff Hoffman closed the door over the final two innings, with Hoffman earning his fourth save.

J.T. Realmuto tied the game at 1-1 in the third with a solo home run, his seventh of the season. Pache tripled to deep center in the fourth, giving the Phillies a 3-1 lead, and Kyle Schwarber then singled Pache home. An insurance run was added when Nick Castellanos hit a solo home run, his fifth of the season, in the eighth inning.
Featured Card: I've run out of Phillies cards for Pache to feature, Hoffman has no Phillies cards yet, and I'd like to save up my Wheeler cards for a game in which he truly shines. So here's a card of Hall of Famer Sam Thompson, an outfielder on that 1892 Phillies team, that went on to a fourth place finish in the National League with a record of 87-66-2.
