Game 84 - Sunday Afternoon, June 30th in Philadelphia
Record - 55-29, 1st Place, 8 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Trailing 6-2 after 4 1/2 innings, the Phillies chipped away and eventually took the lead, winning 7-6 over the Marlins.
What It Means: The Phillies earned a four-game series split and after an off-day on Monday, they'll open a three-game series against the Cubs in Chicago on Tuesday night.
What Happened: Ranger Suarez had a rare bad outing, allowing six runs on nine hits and not striking out any Marlins batters over 4 2/3 innings. The offense started chipping away at the Marlins' lead in the bottom of the fifth when back-to-back doubles from Brandon Marsh and Nick Castellanos made it a 6-3 ballgame. Castellanos added an RBI-single in the sixth to pull the Phillies to within a run, and Trea Turner delivered a clutch, two-run single in the seventh to the give the Phillies a 7-6 lead. Gregory Soto pitched a perfect eighth, and Jeff Hoffman threw a clean ninth to clinch his sixth save and give the Phils the win.

Alec Bohm hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the first to give the Phillies a short-lived, 2-1 lead.
Featured Card: Turner had the big hit in this game, and it came on his 31st birthday. My Topps Series Two Phillies master set is still sitting on my project table, ready to be put away, and this Turner card was one of the many new inserts in the set.
