Ranger Suárez fans career-high 12 as Phillies thump Mets, widen NL East lead

Ranger Suárez struck out a career-high 12 over six one-hit innings as the Phillies beat the Mets 9-3, stretching their NL East lead to nine games with 17 left. He fanned Juan Soto and Pete Alonso three times each and threw 99 pitches with 60 strikes. Kyle Schwarber joined the 50-homer club, becoming the second Phillie ever to do it after Ryan Howard in 2006. Philadelphia looks primed for October.
