Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA
52-37, 1st Place, 1/2 game ahead of the Mets
52-37, 1st Place, 1/2 game ahead of the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Alec Bohm broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth, as the Phillies would hold off the Reds in this 5-1 win.
What It Means: The Phillies would go for the series win on Sunday behind Zack Wheeler. (I like their chances here.)
What Happened: Edmundo Sosa tied the score at 1-1 with a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth, and Bohm gave the Phillies the lead for good with his shot in the sixth. Kyle Schwarber would give the Phillies a 5-1 lead in the eighth with a two-run home run of his own, his 27th of the year. Ranger Suarez battled through five innings, allowing a run on five hits while striking out six. Jordan Romano, who got the win, Tanner Banks, Orion Kerkering and Matt Strahm held the Reds scoreless over the final four innings.
Featured Card: Bohm has steadily increased his production since the start of the season, and he's now batting .283 with eight home runs and 41 RBIs. His RBI tally is third on the team behind Schwarber and Nick Castellanos. Also, he's a screenshot from my phone as we spent this day in a very, very hot Florence, Italy. With a 10:05 start time, I had no shot of listening to any of this game.
Transaction: Buddy Kennedy (inf), designated for assignment when Bryce Harper was activated, cleared waivers and was outrighted to Lehigh Valley. Rather than accept the assignment, Kennedy elected free agency, ending his time with the Phillies. In 12 games over the past two seasons, he batted .111 (2 for 18) with a double and two RBIs.
