Ranger Suarez was dominant against the Dodgers on Friday and with the help of Kyle Schwarber’s walk-off home run, the Phillies extended their winning streak to six games. NBCSPhilly has the game recap.
That three-run lead fell to the wayside after Matt Strahm gave up back-to-back home runs to Betts and Freeman in the seventh inning to tie the game. Still, the Phillies found a way to prevail. We are only nine days into the month and Schwarber has found a way to be the topic of conversation on the daily. Tonight’s win against the Dodgers only further solidifies why he holds thie nickname Mr. June. A two-out walk-off home run and a triple adds to the already-lengthy highlight reel for the month.
He faced five batters in his first appearance since May 7, which included a leadoff double to J.D. Martinez and a walk to Miguel Vargas. More importantly, it included two strikeouts to Chris Taylor and Johnny Deluca. Having Alvarado back in the bullpen is a win in itself on the day.Alec Bohm could have been activated off the 10-day IL as early as Saturday, but it’s going to be at least one more day due to hamstring soreness, according to Thomson.
Bohm’s return raises a few question marks when looking at the infield — and in a good way. Clemens has been a surprise development over at first base. It makes you wonder if he’ll find his way into the starting lineup more frequently so Bohm can slide back to third. It would be an interesting dynamic as we wait for Bryce Harper to get cleared to play. The weekend series continues tomorrow with a late afternoon tilt, slated for 4:05 p.m.
Taijuan Walker will close out the series and six-game homestand in Sunday’s 1:35 p.m. matinee. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has not named his starter yet.
