One Sentence Summary: Ranger Suarez pitched six shutout innings and the Phillies offense managed a pair of runs to win the series opener against the Braves, 2-0.
What It Means: The win was great, but there was a scary moment in the bottom of the first when Spencer Strider nailed Bryce Harper on the elbow with a 95mph fastball. Harper was clearly in pain and left the game, with Edmundo Sosa taking over as a pinch-runner. X-rays following the game were negative and for now, Harper is day-to-day with a bruised elbow.
What Happened: Max Kepler doubled home Alec Bohm in the second for the game's first (and winning) run. J.T. Realmuto walked with the bases loaded in the eighth for an insurance run. Suarez improved to 4-0, allowing four hits in his outing and striking out eight. Orion Kerkering, Matt Strahm and Jordan Romano combined to complete the shutout.
Featured Card: Get well soon, Bryce!
