The Philadelphia Phillies (10-8) secured the series win with a 5-0 win over the Colorado Rockies (4-14) on Tuesday night, thanks to Ranger Suárez's complete-game shutout gem. Suárez threw 112 pitches, striking out eight Rockies while scattering seven singles.
Trea Turner continued his hot hitting. He singled and doubled, scoring both times on base, first on J.T. Realmuto's two-run home run in the first and then on Bryce Harper's sixth-inning double. Up 3-0, Harper added some insurance with a two-run home run of his own in the eighth.
Now the Phillies look for their first series sweep in the final game of the series tonight before getting a day off on Thursday. They welcome the struggling Chicago White Sox to town on Friday.
