Ranger Suares came up with another scoreless outing as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves, 2-0 Tuesday night.
Suarez threw six-scoreless innings allowing four hits and three walks, while striking out eight. Since his rough season debut where he allowed seven runs, Suarez has put in three scoreless performances in his last four starts. He’s also pitched at least six innings in all of them.
The little offense the Phillies could muster against Spencer Strider and the Braves pitching staff came in the form of a Max Kepler RBI double in the 2nd inning. Later in the 2nd, with one out, J.T. Realmuto lined out to right field and Kepler was late tagging from 2nd to 3rd, he would be safe on the throw, but didn’t realize the throw bounced into left field. Kepler could have scored on the play.
In the 8th, Alec Bohm hit a ground ball with eyes up the middle and that started something for the Phillies. Nick Castellanos followed with a base hit to center field, then Braves reliever Daysbel Hernandez walked Kepler to load the bases and then walked in a run when Realmuto was able to lay off a low slider for the Phillies’ second run.
Bryce Harper was forced out of the game in the 1st inning when he took an 95mph 0-1 fastball off his elbow. Harper’s x-rays came back negative.
Phillies and Braves play game two of this three game series Wednesday night at 6:45, Zack Wheeler takes on AJ Smith-Shawver.
