Ranger Suárez

Ranger Suárez allowed four hits and one run with two walks and eight strikeouts over seven innings in a win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

Suárez was straight up lights-out in this one. The lone run he allowed came via a home run by Connor Norby on a 2-1 cutter that bled a little bit too far over the heart of the plate. Otherwise, he was virtually unhittable. Suárez owned the low-and-away corner with his sinker, changeup, and curveball against the Marlins’ all right-handed lineup. They barely made any hard contact and never came close to sustaining a rally. Those eight strikeouts were also a season-high. He’ll take a gorgeous 2.20 ERA and 6-1 record into a challenging two-start week with games against the Astros and Braves, both on the road.
