"Schwarber's three-run shot off reliever Justin Hagenman in the seventh gave the Phillies a 7-1 lead and made him the first National League player to reach 50 homers this season. Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh leads the majors with 53. The fan favorite designated hitter came out of the dugout for a curtain call for a crowd roaring "MVP! MVP!" as "50 Schwarbombs" flashed on the big screen."
"Suarez (12-6) turned in another terrific outing. The left-hander tossed one-hit ball as he lowered his ERA to 2.77 and showed again why the Phillies believe he can be a No. 1 starter in the postseason with ace Zack Wheeler sidelined due to complications from a blood clot. Suarez struck out Juan Soto and Pete Alonso in the first inning and threw 60 strikes out of his 99 total pitches."
The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the New York Mets 9-3 as Kyle Schwarber hit his 50th home run and Ranger Suarez struck out 12 over six shutout innings. Suarez allowed one hit, lowered his ERA to 2.77, and threw 60 strikes of 99 pitches, strengthening his case as a postseason No. 1 starter with Zack Wheeler sidelined by blood clot complications. Schwarber’s three-run seventh-inning homer produced a curtain call amid chants of “MVP!” and kept him within reach of Ryan Howard’s team record of 58 homers. The victory extended Philadelphia’s NL East lead to nine games.
