Ranger Suárez allowed two hits in seven innings and Kody Clemens hit a three-run homer as the Philadelphia Phillies extended their winning streak to seven games with a 7-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night
Suárez ran his scoreless streak to 25 innings. He's won his last four starts, including a 112-pitch shutout against Colorado last Tuesday. This time, he yielded two singles, struck out five and walked one.Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson said after the complete game less than a week ago, he planned to limit Suárez to 80 pitches. The left-hander came out after 88.
“That was a pullback game for Ranger," Thomson said. “He could have kept going, I’m sure. It’s a long year. We want to make sure we’re taking care of him.” Suárez attributed his string of strong innings to finding the formula for mixing his pitches successfully. “As always I tried to mix up my pitches, especially my changeup. I don’t throw hard, so those are the things I have to do,” the 28-year-old Venezuelan said through an interpreter. “I have to mix up my pitches so I can get hitters off balance and get the outs.”, the Phillies put up runs on sacrifice flies in the second and third, then scored another in the fourth on a groundout.
Clemens, promoted from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday to play first base when Harper went on paternity leave, homered to right off“Overall, I thought I pitched well," said Greene, whose fastball velocity was consistently hitting the high 90s."Did a better job of attacking the zone. I have to do a better job of getting the first guy out. I think that is what threw off those three or four innings.
