If there’s one thing you can count on when tuning in to watch the 2025 Phillies — it’s that you never know what you’re going to get.

The club constantly keeps you on your toes and Sunday’s series finale in Atlanta was no different.

A narrow 2-1 win (and series win) against the Braves partially salvaged an otherwise brutal 2-4 road trip.

A road trip that saw the Phillies being shutout three times, a 13-run offensive explosion, dominant bullpen game and four of the strongest outings from the starting rotation all season (with not much to show for it). It’s a coin toss every day.

Luckily for the Phillies, they didn’t make one glaring mistake on the road twice — waste a gem of a performance from Ranger Suarez.

Outside of his first start of the season, Suarez has been nothing short of spectacular.

Sunday marked his 10th straight quality start and in that stretch he has a 1.19 ERA.

His one bad pitch came in the second inning when Sean Murphy smashed a sinker 451 ft. over Brandon Marsh’s head. Other than that? Lights out.

Suarez allowed the one run, four hits and a walk on his way to pitching seven solid innings with eight strikeouts.

His seven wins on the season ties him with Zack Wheeler for the most in the rotation.

“I’ve felt better after every start and the command has been improving after every start,” Suarez said postgame through interpreter Diego D’Aniello. “I think that this is as close to, if not the best, that I’ve felt pitching.”

The Phillies went 16 consecutive innings without scoring a run with Ranger Suarez on the mound. The run support finally came in the fifth inning courtesy of some ABC ball.

Bryson Stott opened the inning with a leadoff single and flew around the bases when the next man up, Otto Kemp, doubled on a sharp line drive to left field. Kemp has continued to make himself at home since being called up June 7, collecting his 10th RBI in the majors.

The small ball continued with Marsh laying down a perfect bunt to advance the runner and on the next pitch, a Trea Turner sacrifice fly gave the Phillies the lead.

It didn’t seem like it’d be another quiet day of offense — especially when the Phillies had the bases loaded in the first inning against Spencer Strider. They worked him for 21 pitches but couldn’t manage anything to get an early jump on the Braves.

When you’re able to scrape across a pair of runs when your pitcher is dealing the way Suarez has … sometimes it’s all you need to get the job done.

Harper on the horizon?

Bryce Harper hasn’t played since June 5, spending time on the IL due to inflammation in his right wrist. While there is no set date for his return, the upcoming targeted homestand seems well within reason.

“I’m very happy with where I am,” Harper said Friday. “I’m way farther ahead than I felt like I would be. Definitely healthier than I was a couple weeks ago. … I don’t want to solidify which day [to return] or anything like that but I’m happy with where I’m at.”

Rob Thomson noted Sunday was a scheduled rest and recovery day for Harper. The manager also didn’t rule out a return as early as Monday.

The Phillies have 12 more games before the All-Star break, seeing the Padres twice and a west coast swing that also pays a visit to the Giants. It’d be a big boost to have Harper in the lineup for as many of those as possible.

They’ve gone 12-10 in the stretch without him.
