Game 78 - Ranger Cruises to Win Over Cubs

2023 Philadelphia Phillies Photo Cards
Phillies 5
, Cubs 1
Game 78 - Tuesday Night, June 27th in Chicago
Record - 41-37, 3rd Place, 10 1/2 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Ranger Suarez pitched another gem with Brandon Marsh hitting a pair of home runs in this 5-1 win over the Cubs.

What It Means:  The Phillies continue to click and thankfully put the Braves series behind them, winning three of their last four.

What Happened:  Ranger Suarez pitched 7 1/3 innings, departing with the Phillies holding a 5-0 lead.  He allowed four hits while striking out eight, finishing the month of June with a 1.08 ERA over five starts in which hie pitched at least six innings.  Marsh led the offense with a solo home run in the second and a two-run home run in the fifth.

Featured Card:  I have only three Suarez cards in my 2023 Phillies binder so far - his card from the Topps retail team set, his Topps Heritage card, and this card from the not widely released team-issued photo cards set.
