After a sudden ninth-inning explosion to take Game 2 of the series 8-4, the Philadelphia Phillies (38-15) will try to secure the series win on Sunday over the Colorado Rockies (17-34).
Going into the ninth trailing 3-2, the Phillies put six runs on the board. The rally was started by the bottom of the order, with a Brandon Marsh walk, Edmundo Sosa triple and Garrett Stubbs single to tie and then take the lead. A day after being ejected in the first inning, Bryce Harper made a difference, putting the game out of reach with an opposite-field three-run home run.
With the win and another Atlanta Braves loss to the sub-.500 Pittsburgh Pirates, the Phillies are up 7.0 games in the NL East heading into Sunday's action.
Phillies vs. Rockies probable pitchers, May 26
- Ranger Suárez (9-0) will close out the series for the Phillies. As he continues his historic start to the season, the lefty will bring his second-best 1.36 ERA and MLB-best 0.79 WHIP into his second start against the Rockies. The last time he took the mound against Colorado, Suárez threw a seven-hit, eight-strikeout complete game shutout.
- Cal Quantrill (3-3) will counter for the Rockies. Through 10 starts this season, the Canuck hurler has a 3.59 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with 44 strikeouts in 57 2/3 innings. The righty more than held his own when he faced the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park in April, throwing six innings of one-run ball on four hits — although he struck out just one.
