Daikin Park - Houston, TX
47-32, 1st Place, 1 1/2 games ahead of the Mets
What It Means: Where's the offense?
What Happened: Ranger Suarez dropped to 6-2 and his ERA went down to 2.08 as he allowed just a run on four hits, while striking out seven in 7 2/3 innings of work. He allowed a solo home run to Cooper Hummel in the bottom of the eighth inning for the only run of the game. The Phillies were once again handled by Astros' starter Framber Valdez, collecting only four hits, and going 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position.
Featured Card: Phillies Room favorite Whit Merrifield announced his retirement from baseball, having last played in 42 games for the Braves last season after his release by the Phillies. I was thrilled when the Phillies signed Merrifield, but it didn't pan out for him here, as he batted .199 in 53 games before the team released him last July 12th. In his retirement announcement, Merrifield addressed the Phillies fans, saying, "Philly, I liked you way more than you like me. Sorry I stunk for you." All the best in your retirement, Whit!
