One Sentence Summary: Bryce Harper collected his 1,000th career RBI in support of Ranger Suarez's fine pitching performance against the Pirates in this 8-4 win.
What It Means: Direct from the Phillies.com summary of the game, Harper is the 14th player in history to reach 1,000 RBIs, 1,000 runs and 1,000 walks before turning 33. 11 of the 13 other players are currently in the Hall of Fame, and the other two (Barry Bonds and Albert Pujols) one day will be.
What Happened: The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fifth. With two outs and runners on the corners, Harper blooped a single to left to score Johan Rojas. The Pirates took a 3-1 lead in the sixth on Alexander Canario's three-run home run off Suarez, his only mistake of the night. The Phillies plated four runs in the seventh, on a pair of bases loaded walks, a bases loaded hit by pitch and a sacrifice fly. Three more runs scored in the eighth, highlighted by an RBI-triple from Trea Turner and Harper's 1,001st RBI on a single to right to score Turner.
Featured Card: I'm doing something different this year, and matching up Topps Now cards issued for Phillies highlights with the actual game summary post. The Phillies' appearances in Topps Now have been sparse so far this year, with Harper joining Zack Wheeler as the only two game performances worthy of inclusion so far.
Transaction: In a somewhat surprising development, Aaron Nola (rhp) was placed on the injured list with a right ankle sprain and Daniel Robert (rhp) quickly returned from Lehigh Valley following his demotion after the double header with the Cardinals. Nola is 1-7 with a 6.16 ERA for the season, and it's his first injury list stint since 2017.
