| 2024 Topps Big League #224 |
Game 8 - Saturday Afternoon, April 6th in Washington
Record - 4-4, 2nd Place, 1 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Ranger Suarez picked up his first win of 2024 and J.T. Realmuto hit a three-run home run in this 5-2 victory over the Nationals.
What It Means: The Phillies will go for the series sweep on Sunday afternoon behind Cristopher Sanchez.
What Happened: Suarez pitched six solid innings, allowing a two-run home run to Joey Gallo and striking out four. Jeff Hoffman, Gregory Soto and Jose Alvarado did their jobs, with Alvarado recording his second save. The Phillies scored first when Realmuto led off the second with a single and came home on Alec Bohm's triple. Realmuto connected for his second home run of the season in the third after Trea Turner doubled and the Nationals intentionally walked Bryce Harper. An insurance run was added in the ninth on Brandon Marsh's RBI single.
Featured Card: Here's Realmuto's card from the recently released Topps Big League set.
Transaction: Connor Brogdon (rhp) was traded to the Dodgers for minor leaguer Benony Robles (lhp). Brogdon had been designated for assignment on Tuesday after a brutal start to his season. Robles' only baseball card appearances to date are in Dodgers' minor league team sets.
