Game 49 - Wednesday Afternoon, May 24th in Philadelphia
Record - 23-26, 4th Place, 7 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies capped a dramatic come-from-behind victory with three late runs in this 6-5 extra inning win.
What It Means: This was a huge, much-needed win and a great way to end the series before boarding the plane for a four-game set in Atlanta.
What Happened: The Phillies were trailing 5-3 with two outs and a runner on in the bottom of the ninth. Ranger Suarez had allowed five runs in his five innings of work, and the Phillies had plated three runs in the sixth on RBI singles from Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh. Down to their final out, Trea Turner launched a two-run home run to left center field, tying the game and staving off defeat. It was a huge home run for Turner, and hopefully the start of his turnaround from a season-long slump.

In the 10th, and with pinch-runner Dalton Guthrie at second, Kyle Schwarber was internationally walked and both runners advanced on a passed ball. Bohm lofted his single over the head of right fielder Pavin Smith to start the on-field celebration.
Featured Card: I was actually mildly concerned at the start of the season I wouldn't have enough Turner baseball cards to feature in these game summary posts. Unfortunately, that wouldn't be an issue as Turner has struggled mightily at the start of the 2023 season, mired in the worst slump of his career. This is the Phillies Kids Club card for Turner, available at the ballpark for kids who have joined the aforementioned club. We have three of the 12 cards in the set so far, with our youngest son Ben in charge of collecting the final nine as the season progresses.
