85-60, 1st Place, 9 games ahead of the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Ranger Suarez allowed one hit in six innings of work and Kyle Schwarber hit a three-run home in the bottom of the seventh on the way to this 9-3 win over the Mets.
What It Means: The magic number to clinch a division title is nine.
What Happened: The Phillies jumped on Mets' starter Sean Manaea early, going up 4-0 after two innings. Nick Castellanos starting things off with a two-run double in the first. Otto Kemp and Harrison Bader hit back-to-back solo home runs in the second. Schwarber gave the Phillies a commanding 7-1 lead with his blast in the seventh. Bryson Stott and Bader piled on with two more RBI-singles in the eighth. Stott and Bader both had three hits in this game. Suarez improved to 12-6 on the season, striking out a a career-high 12 and allowing just a fifth inning single to Brandon Nimmo.
Featured Card: In any other game, Suarez would have been the easy pick for the featured card, but Schwarber's 50th home run of the season made him just the second Phillies player in franchise history to eclipse that mark in a single season. Ryan Howard hit 58 home runs in 2006. Topps Now provided us with the card shown here to mark the highlight. This is the 11th (!) appearance of Schwarber in this year's Topps Now offering.
