| 1956 Topps #296 |
Game 89 - Saturday Night, July 6th in Atlanta
Record - 58-31, 1st Place, 9 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Ranger Suarez didn't have his All-Star stuff in this 5-1 loss to the Braves.
What It Means: The Phillies will go for the series win this afternoon behind rookie Michael Mercado.
What Happened: Suarez struggled through five innings, giving up five runs on six hits and a pair of walks. He allowed a pair of home runs and saw his ERA increase from 2.27 to 2.58. The Phillies offense seemed baffled by Braves' starter Spencer Schwellenbach, scattering seven hits over his six innings of work. The only Philies run came in the third when Johan Rojas, Bryson Stott and Trea Turner connected for three singles in a row.
Featured Card: The Phillies didn't give me anything to work with here, so I'll use this opportunity to plug one of my other blogs, focusing on every card in the 1956 Topps set. I started by 1956 Topps blog in 2015, and it looks as if it will come to a close in 2025 when I plan to publish the 342nd and final posts. It's been fun taking a look back at each of the cards in this iconic set over the past nine years, and I'll be honestly sad to see it end. Once it does end though, I already have plans for kicking off a new blog, looking at every card in the 1955 Bowman set. If things stay on schedule, a 1955 Bowman blog should debut at some point in late 2025.
