Game 79 - Skubal Stifles Phils

2024 Topps Heritage #231
Tigers 4
Phillies 1
Game 79 - Tuesday Night, June 25th in Detroit
Record - 52-27, 1st Place, 7 1/2 games ahead of the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Tarik Skubal out-dueled Ranger Suarez as the Phillies fell to the Tigers, 4-1.

What It Means:  With the series tied up, the Phillies would look to take another series win on Wednesday afternoon.

What Happened:  Skubal allowed three hits and struck out seven in seven innings, departing with his team holding a 4-0 lead.  Suarez fell to 10-2 and saw his ERA creep over 2 (2.01) by allowing four runs on nine hits in six innings.  Bryce Harper hit a solo home run in the ninth, his 20th of the season.

Featured Card:  Phillies Room favorite Matt Vierling is batting lead-off and playing center field for the Tigers these days, and following this series he was batting .254 with 10 home runs and 32 RBIs.  Vierling has also made starts for the Tigers in left field, right field and third base.  This is his awesome, colorful 2024 Topps Heritage card.

Transaction:  Yunior Marte (rhp) was activated from the 15-day Injured List and optioned to Lehigh Valley.
