Game 28 - Bohm, Suarez Fuel Win Over Padres

2024 Topps Now #109
Phillies 5
Padres 1
Game 28 - Saturday Night, April 27th in San Diego
Record - 18-10, 2nd Place, 1 1/2 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Ranger Suarez continued his impressive start to the 2024 season and Alec Bohm had four RBIs while raising his average to .354 in this 5-1 win over the Padres.

What It Means:  Taijuan Walker will make his season debut in the series finale this afternoon, as the Phillies look for the series sweep.

What Happened:  Suarez was phenomenal.  He cruised through seven innings, allowing just two hits, and saw his scoreless streak end at 32 2/3 innings when Eguy Rosario hit a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth.  Suarez struck out eight, improved to 5-0 and dropped his ERA to 1.32.  Jeff Hoffman struck out the side in the ninth to preserve the win.

Bohm homered in the first after Trea Turner had singled to give the Phillies an early 2-0 lead.  In the fifth, Bryce Harper walked with the bases loaded and Bohm delivered a two-run single to make it 5-0, Phillies.

Featured Card:  I typically don't post cards not yet in hand, but I'll bend the rules a little as this card is currently in transit to me.  Suarez received a Topps Now card for his complete game shutout on Monday against the Reds.
