The Philadelphia Phillies will turn to Noah Syndergaard for Game 3 of the World Series, Rob Thomson announced after a Game 2 loss to the Houston Astros.
Ranger Suárez will start Game 4 in Philadelphia on Tuesday, after appearing as a reliever in Game 1 of the World Series.
“We figure in Game 4, we can extend him out a little bit more than we could have if he was pitching Game 3,” Thomson said of Suárez Saturday night.
Syndergaard has allowed just one run in 5 1/3 innings of work this postseason. The 30-year-old does have prior World Series experience, having earned the win in Game 3 of the 2015 Fall Classic while pitching for the New York Mets.
