Coming off a loss the night before, the Phillies were in need of a bounce-back performance. Ranger Suárez was the right man to lead the charge.
The lefty pitched seven strong innings while Bryson Stott hit a three-run homer as Philadelphia (44-30) knocked off the Miami Marlins 4-2 on Wednesday night at loanDepot Park.
Both clubs were kept scoreless through the first three innings as Suárez and his counterpart, Marlins starter Adam Mazur, were both dominant during their first time through the order.
It wasn’t until the fourth inning that the Phillies broke through. J.T Realmuto got the party started, taking a first-pitch slider and smacking it through the hole between the third baseman and shortstop to score Nick Castellanos on an RBI single.
