Game 54 - Rocky Mountain Low

1969 Topps #312
Rockies 5
Phillies 2
Game 54 - Sunday Afternoon, May 26th in Denver
Record - 38-16, 1st Place, 6 games ahead of the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  The Phillies fell flat against the last place Rockies, dropping this game 5-2, and more surprisingly, losing the series.

What It Means:  They'll try to rebound with a three-game set against the Giants, beginning on Memorial Day afternoon.

What Happened:  Ranger Suarez had his first rough outing of the year, quickly finding himself in trouble in the first two innings.  Suarez allowed a two-run home run in the first to Ryan McMahon.  He allowed four walks and a double in a three-run second inning, with Alec Bohm contributing a costly throwing error.  The Phillies scored a pair of runs in the fourth and fifth innings on RBI singles from Bohm and Johan Rojas, but they couldn't add any more runs the rest of the day.

Featured Card:  Happy Memorial Day to everyone, and I hope you found some time this weekend to enjoy yourselves and spend time with family and friends.  We had a relatively quiet weekend, by design, and I was happy to spend some time catching up on my 1969 Topps blog.  Despite the lack of a logo on his hat, former Phillies manager Lee Elia wishes you all the best and is optimistic about the upcoming summer.
