Final Score: Brewers 6, Phillies 2
Well, this definitely wasn’t how the Phillies wanted to start their roadtrip.
The Fightins out-hit the Brewers, 11 to eight, but they simply couldn’t get those baserunners home. Overall, the Phillies went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base.
Meanwhile, Ranger Suárez has given up seven runs and 16 hits over 10 1/3 innings in his last two starts. His velocity was up tonight, but he walked three batters and he has gone a mere 2-5 since July. It’s unclear how much of a role the Phillies will be able to count on Suárez taking down in the postseason.
