32-18, 1st Place, 2 games ahead of the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Ranger Suarez and three relievers combined to shut out the Rockies, completing the four game sweep and giving the Phillies a two-game lead over the Mets in the division.
What It Means: The Phillies have won seven in a row, completing a three-game sweep of the Pirates and this sweep of the Rockies. They've won 13 of their last 16 games. Up next is a three-game set against the Athletics in Sacramento.
What Happened: Suarez improved to 3-0, scattering six hits and striking out six in 6 2/3 innings. Orion Kerkerking, Matt Strahm and Jordan Romano pitched the final 2 1/3 scoreless innings to lock down the shutout. Romano was perfect, earning his sixth save. In the fourth, Bryson Stott reached on an error, stole second and scored on Bryce Harper's double. In the seventh, Kyle Schwarber walked to lead off the inning and scored an important insurance run when Max Kepler doubled him home. It was a classic getaway day game, taking just two hours and 19 minutes to complete.
Featured Card: Over the past 16 games, Harper is batting .361 (22 for 61) with seven doubles, two home runs and 14 RBIs. I have more Harper cards than will ever see this blog, so I'll take this low-scoring affair as an opportunity to post one of the newest, and funkiest, cards of his in my collection.
