The Hot start that Philadelphia Sports Fans have wanted the Phillies to get off for the 2024 season has happened. In fact, the Phillies have the best record in baseball heading into action on Friday at 26-12 and their third-best start in franchise history after 38 games.

Next up for the Phightens is a series with the Marlins in Miami, a team with the second worst record in baseball.

Both Suarez and Zack Wheeler are in the conversation for National League Cy Young early in the season.
