Ranger Suárez allowed just one run and four hits against the Houston Astros on Tuesday, June 24, in 7 2/3 innings pitch. Despite this, he picked up his second loss of the season as the Philadelphia Phillies’ bats went quiet. His teammates couldn’t score a single run and a stellar Suárez outing was spoiled by a 1-0 defeat.
This time around in their series finale with the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, June 29, the Phillies offense made sure another Suárez gem didn’t go to waste. The Fightins capped off their road trip with a 2-1 win over the Braves to take two of three in Atlanta and capture the series win.
