The Philadelphia Phillies‘ September woes continued on Tuesday evening when they lost 6-3 to the 66-79 Chicago Cubs.

Unacceptable and embarrassing once again.

With every passing day, they move further in the wrong direction from their postseason goals, now 4 1/2 games out of first in their division and three games back from an NL Wild Card spot.

Phillies Pitcher Today: Ranger Suárez

Ranger Suárez, the underrated linchpin of the Phillies pitching staff, goes tonight against Alec Mills.

Suárez has a 1.38 ERA over 35 games, including a 1.67 ERA over his eight starts. Since returning to the rotation for the first time since 2018, he has allowed one run or less in all but one of his starts.

Mills has a 4.35 ERA over 28 games, and like Suárez, has pitched out of the rotation, in relief, and has even finished four games and earned his first career save. Mills has allowed five or more runs in two of his last four starts, and has not fared well against the Phillies the two times he’s faced them in his career. He has a 4.63 ERA over 11 2/3 innings against the Phils, and has given up six earned runs and three home runs to them in that short span.
