| 2023 Topps Heritage #219 |
Game 68 - Late Wednesday Night, June 14th in Phoenix
Record - 34-34, 3rd Place, 8 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies didn't waste a solid outing from Ranger Suarez, eventually prevailing in this game, 4-3, in 10 innings.
What It Means: The Phillies made it back to .500 for the first time since May 14th, when they were 20-20. They're clearly on a roll, having gone 9-4 so far in June.
What Happened: Suarez didn't get the win, but he threw seven shutout innings, allowing four hits while striking out seven. Seranthony Dominguez gave up a deflating three-run home run to Christian Walker in the eighth to allow the Diamondbacks to tie up the game 3-3. In the 10th, with Brandon Marsh starting the inning as the ghost runner (a rule I still don't like), Trea Turner reached on an error by right fielder Jake McCarthey with Marsh moving to third. Nick Castellanos hit a sacrifice fly to score Marsh with the eventual winning run. Jose Alvarado escaped a jam in the bottom of the 10th to record his sixth save.

Earlier in the game, the Phillies plated three runs on a few force outs and a J.T. Realmuto solo home in the sixth.
Featured Card: In his last four starts, Suarez owns a cool 1.35 ERA in 26 2/3 innings pitched. This is his 1974 Topps inspired card from this year's Topps Heritage set, and I think it's the best card in the Phillies team set.
