| 2023 Choice Reading Fightin Phils #40 |
Game 88 - Saturday Afternoon, July 8th in Miami
Record - 48-40, 3rd Place, 12 games behind the Braves
Completely Unnecessary Post-Vacation Game Recap Post 9 of 10
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies bats were largely quiet and Ranger Suarez had another iffy outing in this 5-3 loss to the Marlins.
What It Means: Probably the scariest moment of this game was Bryce Harper getting drilled in his surgically repaired elbow by Marlins pitcher Braxton Garrett in the third inning. Harper would leave the game as a precaution and come back seemingly fine following the All-Star Game break.
What Happened: Suarez pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on eight hits and four walks. Trea Turner hit a solo home run in the top of the first, his 10th of the year. The Marlins would score three times in the bottom of the first off Suarez. In the second, the Phillies tied the game following an RBI double from Cristian Pache and an RBI groundout from Kyle Schwarber. That was it for the Phillies in the runs department. The Marlins took the lead in the fourth off Suarez and scored a seventh inning insurance run off reliever Yunior Marte.
Featured Card: The annual Futures Game took place on Saturday night, with top prospects Mick Abel and Justin Crawford representing the Phillies. Abel got the start for the National League Futures team, pitching a scoreless first inning and striking out a pair. He'd get the win after his team won in a 5-0 shutout. Crawford started as the National League's DH and went 0 for 2 with an RBI. The newest card of Abel's in my collection is from the 2023 Reading Fightin Phils team set.
