Ranger Suárez has impressed on the mound all season for the Philadelphia Phillies, but in his latest start on Saturday evening, he came through in a different way.

The top of the fourth began with both sides scoreless. J.T. Realmuto led off and flew out, and then Andrew McCutchen ripped a solo home run. Matt Vierling flew out, Didi Gregorius walked. Trevor Rogers intentionally walked Ronald Torreyes to bring Ranger Suárez up to bat.

With the Phillies holding a brand-new 1-0 lead, their pitcher stepped up to the plate and smoked an RBI double to bring home Gregorius.

Ranger Suárez has come through for the Philadelphia Phillies all season

Suárez has been one of the only consistently good pitchers the Phillies have this season. From May to July, he worked out of the bullpen, posting a 1.12 ERA over 40 1/3 innings of work. He struck out 42, walked 14, and only allowed five earned runs to 158 batters, who were slashing .152/.244/.239 against him with a .483 OPS.

In August, the 25-year-old lefty returned to the starting rotation for the first time since 2018, and has continued to come through for his team. Coming into Saturday, he has a 2.03 ERA over six starts, with 23 strikeouts over 26 2/3 innings of work.

On a team that is consistent in their inconsistencies, Suárez is beloved and appreciated by his teammates. Archie Bradley recently called him their “savior,” and Bryce Harper accurately stated, “The situation is never too big for him.” They appreciate how solid he remains despite the turbulence around him.

He comes through no matter what gets thrown at him.

Tonight, it was a 2-strike pitch.
