Truist Park - Atlanta, GA
49-35, 1st Place, 1 1/2 games ahead of the Mets
49-35, 1st Place, 1 1/2 games ahead of the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Ranger Suarez was stellar in this 2-1 win over the Braves, lowering his season ERA to 2.00 and improving to 7-2 with this four-hit, eight strikeout performance.
What It Means: The Phillies increased their division lead to 1 1/2 games with this win, coupled with a Mets loss.
What Happened: Suarez has a 1.19 ERA over his past 10 starts, which is the lowest by any Phillies pitcher in a 10-start stretch since Cliff Lee did it in 2011. Also in that sub-1.20 ERA club over a 10-start stretch, dating back to 1969, are Roy Oswalt (2010) and Steve Carlton (1972). Orion Kerkering struck out the side in the eighth and Matt Strahm kept the Braves off the board in the ninth to secure his fifth save. The Phillies scored twice in the fifth. Bryson Stott singled to lead off the inning and Otto Kemp doubled him home. Kemp would eventually score the winning run on a Trea Turner sacrifice fly.
Featured Card: It's Suarez for sure, and I was surprised Topps didn't issue him a Topps Now card to mark his historic 10-start stretch by a Phillies pitcher. This is his card from the Phillies Kids Club/Club 215 set, only available at the ballpark.
