Phillies beat Marlins 4-2
Bryson Stott hit a three-run homer, Ranger Suárez pitched seven effective innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 4-2 on Wednesday night. Suárez (6-1) permitted one run and four hits in another solid performance since his return from an early-season back injury. He struck out eight and walked two. The veteran left-hander has only allowed eight runs since giving up seven in his first start of the season on May 4. Stott capped Philadelphia's four-run fourth inning against Adam Mazur (0-1) with his fifth homer of the season. J.T. Realmuto hit an RBI single before Stott drove a first-pitch fastball deep to center. Mazur struck out five and allowed five hits in 5 2/3 innings in his Marlins debut. He was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville. The Marlins closed to 4-2 in the ninth on Dane Myers' one-out RBI single. They had a runner in scoring position before Matt Strahm struck out Connor Norby and got Nick Fortes to fly out for his fourth save. Alec Bohm singled twice and doubled for Philadelphia in his second multihit outing of the series and sixth in his last nine games overall. Nick Castellanos doubled and singled in his return to Philadelphia's lineup after being benched the day before for making "an inappropriate comment" when he was pulled for a defensive replacement on Monday. Norby hit a solo shot off Suárez that went 415 feet to center to make it 4-1 in the fifth. Key moment Jack Winkler got his first major league hit against Strahm in the ninth. Key stat Stott has pitched six or more innings in each of his eight starts since his rough season debut in which he gave up seven runs in 3 2/3 innings against Arizona. Up next LHP Christopher Sánchez (5-2, 3.05 ERA) will start for the Phillies on Thursday against Marlins RHP Edward Cabrera (2-2, 4.10 ERA).

Phillies' Ranger Suárez Cites Good Health for Recent Success
Phillies' Ranger Suárez Cites Good Health for Recent Success originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The best performing pitcher in the Philadelphia Phillies rotation probably isn't who you'd expect. While Zack Wheeler and Cristopher Sánchez have both been their normal selves, the soon-to-be free agent of the group is rapidly driving up his price. Advertisement Ranger Suárez has been nothing short of dominant over the past month. Take away his first start off the injured list, where he allowed seven runs in 3.2 innings, and he has a 1.16 ERA and 0.96 WHIP across seven outings. His latest success came in the form of seven shutout innings against the Toronto Blue Jays Thursday night, where Ranger struck out six while allowing only four hits. After the game, he gave a simple answer as to what has led to this inspiring stretch. "Primarily, it's being healthy," Suárez told NBC Sports Philadelphia's Corey Seidman. "I know what I'm capable of when I'm healthy, and I'm capable of doing great things." Much like last season, Ranger Suárez is throwing like an All-Star in the first half. But will that performance continue the rest of the way?Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Staying healthy has been a major challenge for Suárez. He's been on the injured list five times over the course of four seasons - three of which were because of various back issues. But when when he is at full strength, Ranger can be a very dependable arm. Advertisement Look at 2024, where he pitched to a 2.76 ERA and 1.04 WHIP before the All-Star Break. After that, the back issues popped back up, and he was a shell of himself in August and September. Now perhaps more than ever, it's imperative that Suárez can continue to pitch every fifth game. Aaron Nola confirmed he has a stress fracture and will likely be out until late July. Taijuan Walker is being converted into a one-inning reliever. Andrew Painter has been roughed up a bit in Triple-A and wouldn't be coming up until after the All-Star Break anyway. With Philly's starting pitcher depth suddenly running short, they'll hope that Suárez and the rest of the rotation continue to stay locked in and healthy.

‘Vintage Ranger': Phillies' Suárez is back to deceiving hitters after early IL stint
PHILADELPHIA — Ranger Suárez looked to the sky, to the Citizens Bank Park stands as he walked off the field. A standing ovation lay before him and, behind him, two runners on base stranded and 94 pitches out of his hand. All woven together across seven scoreless innings against the Toronto Blue Jays on a breezy Friday in June. Advertisement Suárez was far removed from spring training, which he finished with a sore lower back and an injured list designation. Far removed from his first outing on May 4, which could really be considered his spring training — a seven-run affair in which the Arizona Diamondbacks ran all over him in the third and fourth innings. He has breathed easier on the walks to the dugout since, reaching at least six innings in his seven other outings. His ERA since May 10, when he made his second start, sits at 1.16 — second-best in MLB, trailing only Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes (0.76). Seven straight quality starts for Mr. Rager — Philadelphia Phillies (@Phillies) June 14, 2025 On Friday, he deceived hitters, threw seven scoreless and escaped his only bit of trouble in his final inning as the Phillies went on to win 8-0. 'I mean, pinpoint control, a lot of strikes, all the stuff was good,' Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. 'Changeup had a lot of depth to it. Breaking ball had a lot of depth to it. He just keeps people off balance.' Seemingly a laundry list of accomplishments. But Suárez had all of it in his wheelhouse Friday, and has had much of it this season and in recent seasons as a starter. The six-pitch mix keeps hitters on their toes. His hard-hit rate is the lowest of his career, as he gave up no extra-base hits Friday. His exit velocity is among the lowest he's had. His slider, used sparingly, has a putaway rate above 38 percent and, on Friday, left Addison Barger looking on a strikeout in the second. The sinker, which has a 20.5 percent putaway rate, caught two Blue Jays looking at strike three in the fifth. But his health, Suárez said, has been most important. 'I know what I'm capable of when I'm healthy,' Suárez said through a team interpreter. 'I know I'm capable of great things.' Advertisement Like working into the seventh, when he threw his two hardest pitches of the night: a 92.6 mph fastball to Barger for a foul, then a 92.2 mph sinker to Davis Schneider for ball four. That walk put two runners on base against Suárez for the first time, and effectively extinguished his goal of reaching the eighth. 'I did want to get out of that inning as quick as possible to see if I could help in going out to pitch the eighth as well,' Suárez said. 'I always give it 100 percent, but I did have that extra motivation. That's what ticked it up a bit.' It would have been a help, sure. But missing that one inning wasn't a detriment. Suárez has pitched more innings than any other Phillies starter since May 10 (46 2/3). The next closest is Cristopher Sánchez at 35 1/3. Zack Wheeler had a rare off night against the Atlanta Braves on May 29, allowing six runs and walking four. Jesús Luzardo likely tipped his pitches during his short, historically bad May 31 and June 5 starts, giving up 20 runs across the two. Suárez, however, has been steady. A pair of runs allowed here or there, but nothing like that first outing when he didn't execute. Now, he's back to fooling hitters with good stuff — 'vintage Ranger,' shortstop Trea Turner said. That's good news for Suárez, an impending free agent. And it's just what a taxed bullpen needs. As the Phillies rework and rethink their bullpen following José Alvarado's 80-game PED suspension and more usage, Suárez's outings have provided a breather. That was the case Friday, when the Phillies only needed to turn to Joe Ross and Taijuan Walker for the eighth and ninth, respectively. Suárez, a reliever turned starter, will not return to the bullpen anytime soon. His poise and stuff have earned him a spot in the rotation, and the Phillies, barring injuries, do not anticipate changes to the rotation in the near future. Aaron Nola is out for at least two more weeks, if not longer, with a stress fracture in his right ribs, though he said Friday his injured ankle is feeling better. Mick Abel has stepped up in his place. Walker has accepted a bullpen assignment. Advertisement The season started with a whimper for Suárez. After the game, he did not want to think back to the injury, to missing most of spring training. It's all about being in the moment. And he had a lot to think about from Friday's start, anyways. 'The cutter did a great job today — changeup, sinker, too,' he said. 'It's a mix of all those things, staying down in the zone, mixing all your pitches and just going at it.'
