As the Philadelphia Phillies take on the World Champion Texas Rangers on Tuesday night, left-hander Ranger Suarez is looking to join a very rare group in baseball history. Ranger Suárez (8-0, 1.37 ERA) makes his 10th start tomorrow (today) and could become the 4th pitcher in the Live Ball Era with 9+ wins & an ERA of 1.50 or lower through the first 10 starts; the only pitchers to do so are Ubaldo Jiménez (2010), Juan Marichal (1966) and Sal Maglie (1952).
No matter how talented the superstars on the diamond might be, the starting pitcher is the most impactful player in any MLB game. With a 50-game sample size, we're starting to see which MLB rotations are separating themselves from the pack–and their teams from the rest of their divisions. In an extremely deep field of talented MLB rotations, it's amazing just how impressive the Philadelphia Phillies have been.
Bryce Harper walked into the dugout before the Phillies batted in the bottom of the fifth inning. The Phillies then proceeded to grind through several at bats, loading the bases and scoring the tying run without even getting a hit. J.T. Realmuto, back in the lineup after three days off with knee soreness, put them ahead with an RBI single. When the inning concluded, the Phillies were ahead by three, putting Suarez in line for the win.
