Ranger Suárez stuck out 10 over seven innings and improved to 9-0 to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to their MLB-best 35th win, a 5-2 victory over the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers on Tuesday night. Suárez's season-opening run rivals Hall of Famers Grover Alexander and Juan Marichal among the best in baseball history. Bryce Harper hit his 11th homer of the season to help the Phillies win for the ninth time in 11 games and continue one of the best starts in franchise history.
Second time in Phillies history that a pitcher went 9-0, first time in about a century.
Second best ERA in the MLB, second best WHIP (barely sank out of first), second best avg against, first pitcher to 9 wins (nobody else even hit 8 yet). One of four to throw a complete game shutout
It’s crazy, he’s pitching out of his mind.
Sometimes I just randomly Google what his ERA or WHIP is because I can’t believe it. And he’s so fun to watch! It’s just a different vibe than a typical “ace” like Wheeler who is always so serious.
