Game 78 - Nola Cruises, Harper and Bohm Homer in Win

2024 Topps #463
Phillies 8
Tigers 1
Game 78 - Monday Night, June 24th in Detroit
Record - 52-26, 1st Place, 8 games ahead of the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Aaron Nola cruised to his ninth victory behind the 15-hit onslaught from the Phillies offense in this 8-1 win.

What It Means:  We'll look back on this game as one of the better wins before a disastrous Thursday night pushed pause on the team's good vibes.

What Happened:  Nola pitched seven innings, allowing a run on six hits while striking out six.  Michael Mercado made his major league debut, pitching a perfect eighth inning.  Bryce Harper was 3 for 5 with five RBIs, including a three-run home run in the sixth inning.  Alec Bohm was 4 for 5 with three RBIs, including a two-run home run in the first.  Both Harper and Bohm should be heading to Arlington in a few weeks for the All-Star Game.

Featured Card:  The newest Nola card in my collection is from Topps Series Two.
