Phillies Turn to Ranger Suarez to Avoid Sweep by Brewers

Philadelphia, PA — The Philadelphia Phillies will send Ranger Suarez to the mound on Sunday as they aim to avoid a three-game sweep by the Milwaukee Brewers. The game is set to start at 1:35 p.m. and will be broadcast locally on NBC Sports Philadelphia.
After a promising May that saw them achieve a 19-9 record, the Phillies struggled at the end of the month, suffering three consecutive losses, two of which were inflicted by the Brewers. In those games, the Brewers capitalized on the Phillies’ pitching weaknesses and overwhelmed their bullpen.
Suarez has been strong in his recent outings, not allowing a run in his last two starts. “I feel good on the mound and ready to compete,” Suarez said. Since his shaky season debut, he has shown considerable improvement, going deep into games and providing stability to the rotation.
The Brewers, on the other hand, will counter with veteran left-hander Jose Quintana, who boasts a 4-1 record with a 2.65 ERA this season. Quintana’s reliable performances have solidified his role in a competitive Brewers lineup, having only given up more than one run in a single game this year.
As the game approaches, only time will tell if the Phillies can stave off a sweep at home. The Brewers’ recent offensive surge includes ranking second in runs scored over the past 15 days, showcasing their capability as genuine contenders. “We’re focused on our approach and taking it one game at a time,” said Quintana. Fans are hopeful for an exciting matchup as teams gear up for the afternoon battle.
