Ranger Suárez outpitches Cy Young candidate as Phillies defeat Padres

Final Score: Phillies 6, Padres 2

The Philadelphia Phillies were on a three-game losing streak. San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove had held them hitless through 4 u2153 innings. They trailed 1-0. Time remained, but a fourth straight loss was more than in the cards.

Three outs later — plus change — the Phillies led 6-1. In what felt like the blink of an eye, they had jumped on the National League Cy Young Award candidate in Musgrove for seven hits and six runs, and all of a sudden, they held a comfortable lead on a team that had entered the day tied for first in a stacked National League West.
