Game 20 - Bohm Homers Twice and Turnbull Nearly No-Hits Sox

2024 Topps Heritage #469
Phillies 7
, White Sox 0
Game 20 - Friday Night, April 19th in Philadelphia
Record - 12-8, 2nd Place, 2 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Spencer Turnbull took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and Alec Bohm hit two, three-run home runs in this 7-0 romp over the White Sox.

What It Means:  The White Sox are a team on the decline right now, and hopefully the Phillies can earn a few more wins this weekend.  The Phillies are 1-1 in their City Connect uniforms.

What Happened:   Turnbull, who may be losing his spot in the rotation when Taijuan Walker returns from injury, looked fantastic.  He improved to 2-0, with his ERA dropping to 1.23, as he allowed one hit and two walks while striking out six.  Matt Strahm and Orion Kerkering completed the shutout with two innings of relief.

Trea Turner continued to swing a hot bat, going 3 for 4 and raising his season average to a team-best .350.  Bohm was the offensive hero of the game, hitting a first inning and third inning home run, both with a pair of runners on.

Featured Card:  As promised, I'll work my way through the awesome 2024 Topps Heritage Phillies team set as opportunity present themselves, and here's Bohm's card.
