Ranger Suárez’s post-injury struggles continued and the Phillies offense was almost nonexistent in a 9-1 loss to the Nationals to begin the last series of the regular season. Suárez lasted just two innings and allowed six runs while the bats managed just one run on an Austin Hays homer in the 8th. It was ugly baseball all around for the Phillies, with two errors and numerous mental mistakes in the field.
Not what you want to see
Suárez ran into trouble almost immediately in the first inning. He allowed a lead-off hustle double to Dylan Crews to begin the game after a seven pitch at bat.
