Game 44 - Bryce's Big Day Backs Ranger's 8th Win

2024 Topps Heritage
New Age Performers #NAP-14
Phillies 10
Mets 5
Game 44 - Wednesday Night, May 15th in Philadelphia
Record - 31-13, 1st Place, 3 games ahead of the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Bryce Harper had three RBIs and Ranger Suarez recorded his league-leading eighth win in this 10-5 romp over the Mets.

What It Means:  The Phillies continue to fire on all cylinders, using dominant starting pitching and timely hitting to make easy work of the Mets.

What Happened:  Suarez didn't have his best stuff, but he held the Mets to two runs (both unearned as a result of errors by Johan Rojas and Cristian Pache) and he was pulled after five innings.  Bryce Harper hit a solo home run in the first inning.  With the Phillies trailing 2-1 heading to the bottom of the fifth, Kyle Schwarber drew a bases loaded walk to tie the game.  J.T. Realmuto's RBI single gave the Phillies the lead and a two-run double by Bryce Harper made it 5-2, Phillies.  They'd pile on from there, adding five more runs in the sixth and seventh innings.

Spencer Turnbull pitched three innings in relief, allowing three runs in the eighth inning, but the Mets were never really a threat following the big, four-run fifth inning from the Phils.

Featured Card:  I'm never lacking for new Harper cards, and this is his New Age Performers insert card from this year's Topps Heritage offering.
