Game 9 - Bohm Paces Offense, Losing Streak Ends

2021 Topps Update 70 Years
of Topps Baseball #70YT-29
Phillies 10
, Marlins 3
Game 9 - Saturday Night, April 16th in Miami
Record - 4-5, 3rd Place, 2 games behind the Mets

One Sentence Summary:  The bats finally showed some life in this 10-3 win over the Marlins.

What It Means:  The Phillies went for a series split on Sunday afternoon and (spoiler alert) it did not go well.

What Happened:  Serving as the club's DH, Alec Bohm continued swinging a hot bat, going 2 for 3 with three RBIs and his season average is currently an impressive .700 (7 for 10).  The Phillies put up six runs in the second, with RBI doubles provided by Matt Vierling, Bryce Harper and Johan Camargo.

Ranger Suarez was the beneficiary of the heavy run support, and he earned the win after pitching five innings, allowing a pair of runs on six hits.  Seranthony Dominguez and James Norwood both contributed scoreless innings of relief.

Featured Card:  Topps went all-in on Bohm baseball cards in 2021, and while I know I don't have a fraction of his total baseball card output in my collection, I did manage to add 34 different cards of his last year.  And while his glove work continues to suffer, Bohm has been solid at the plate, despite receiving limited playing time from manager Joe Girardi so far this season.  This is one of his many retro-inspired cards released last year.
