Game 34 - Saturday Night, May 4th in Philadelphia
Record - 23-11, 1st Place, 1 1/2 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: On a rainy, miserable night, Ranger Suarez had just enough and the Phillies offense raked through the raindrops in this 14-3 win over the Giants.
What It Means: The Phillies have the best record in baseball and their lead over the Braves increased to a game and a half after the Braves fell to the Dodgers.
What Happened: The Phillies held a 9-0 lead after the second inning, chasing Giants' starter Keaton Winn in the first inning. The scoring started when Alec Bohm was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Brandon Marsh, Bryson Stott and Johan Rojas all had RBI singles in the first. Productive ground outs from Nick Castellanos and Edmundo Sosa plated two more runs in the second, with Stott coming through again with another RBI single.

Sloppy Giants play led to four more runs in the sixth, and Whit Merrifield hit a solo home run in the seventh. Bohm's hitting streak reached 17 games, the longest by a Phillies' third baseman since Mike Schmidt's 17-game hitting streak in 1979. Bohm left the game as a precaution with a sore hip.
Suarez picked up his league-leading sixth win, scattering seven hits over six innings and striking out six.
Featured Card: Phillies Room favorite Merrifield has one Phillies baseball card to date, available only at the ballpark to members of one of the Phillies' fan clubs.
Transaction: As expected, Trea Turner (ss) was placed on the Injured List with a left hamstring strain and Kody Clemens (inf) was recalled to take his place.
