Ranger Suárez and Bryce Harper help the Phillies beat the Rockies 5
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ranger Suárez pitched a seven-hitter, Bryce Harper homered and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies 5-0 on Tuesday night.
Suárez struck out eight and walked one in the majors’ second complete game this season. It was the first shutout for a Philadelphia pitcher since Michael Lorenzen’s no-hitter against Washington on Aug. 9.
“Everything was working well today,” Suárez said through a translator.
Harper hit an RBI double in the sixth inning and a two-run shot in the eighth.
J.T. Realmuto also went deep for Philadelphia (10-8), which moved two games over .500 for the first time this season.
Suárez (3-0) threw 112 pitches, 79 for strikes, in his second career complete game. The left-hander retired Nolan Jones on a comebacker for the final out.
“He was getting quick outs, his stuff was really good, and his command was really good,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. “We felt like he was going to get deep unless something crazy happened.”
