Game 135 - Phils, Suarez Fall Flat Against Braves

2001 Topps Combos #TC2
Braves 7
Phillies 2
Game 135 - Friday Night, August 30th in Philadelphia
Record - 79-56, 1st Place, 5 games ahead of the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  This was a forgettable game from the start, as Ranger Suarez struggled to find his groove and the Phillies' offense couldn't find a clutch hit in this 7-2 loss.

What It Means:  Best just to move on from this one, as there weren't a lot of positive developments.

What Happened:  Suarez dropped to 11-6 on the season as he was pulled after four innings having allowed four runs on five hits, including home runs to Orlando Arcia and Sean Murphy.  Relievers Max Lazar and Yunior Marte gave up three more runs.  The Phillies managed solo home runs from Bryson Stott and J.T. Realmuto.

Featured Card:  Games like this make it difficult to come up with a card that "fits" so here's a random card from my collection featuring two greats from the Phillies and Braves.
