Phillies Rout Mets 9-3 Behind Suárez’s 12-K Gem, Take 2-0 Series Lead

A six-inning, 12-strikeout clinic from Ranger Suárez left New York leaning on the wild-card race.

Overview

  • Ranger Suárez allowed one hit over six shutout innings with 12 strikeouts, stifling a Mets lineup that had been hot entering the series.
  • Sean Manaea yielded four runs in five innings, including back-to-back homers by Otto Kemp and Harrison Bader in the second.
  • Kyle Schwarber crushed his 50th home run to break the game open in the seventh after the Mets cut the deficit with a Mark Vientos solo shot.
  • The Mets dropped their fourth straight and remain third in the NL Wild Card standings, with San Francisco two games back and Cincinnati holding a tiebreaker.
  • Jose Siri returned from a long injury absence with a double and scored on a Juan Soto single, accounting for part of New York’s late offense.
