The Philadelphia Phillies road winning streak is history. Phils’ starter Ranger Suarez was uncharacteristically wild, walking four and allowing four runs (three earned) over six innings, in Saturday’s 5-3 loss to the Miami Marlins. The loss ends the Phillies road winning streak at 13-games, tying a franchise record.
The loss moves the Phillies record to 48-40 on the 2023 MLB regular season. The Phillies still hold a 0.5 game lead over San Francisco for the third and final NL Wild Card spot. They trail the Marlins by 2.5 games for the first NL Wild Card spot and home field advantage in the Wild Card round.
