MIAMI (AP) — Ranger Suárez pitched seven scoreless innings, Nick Castellanos and Johan Rojas hit solo homers, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 8-2 Friday night. The game was played in front of a crowd of 15,119, the majority appearing to cheer for Philadelphia in Miami’s first home game since trading two-time batting champion Luis Arraez to the Padres on May 4. Before the game, a handful of longtime Marlins fans gathered outside loanDepot Park to protest the state of the franchise. Suárez (7-0), whose 1.50 ERA is the second-lowest in MLB, allowed just three hits while striking out nine and walking two. “I just try to focus as I always do,” Suárez said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a good team or bad team. We’re in the big leagues. All teams are dangerous.” Suárez has allowed just nine runs through 54 innings this season, including a career-high 32-inning scoreless streak in April that tied for the fifth-longest in franchise history. He’s the first MLB pitcher to reach seven wins this season. |
