Philadelphia scored nine runs in the first two innings and Ranger Suarez threw six quality innings to lead the Phillies to a 14-3 win over the visiting San Francisco Giants on Saturday.
Suarez (6-0) allowed seven hits and three runs, while striking out six and walking just one. The left-hander has given up just nine earned runs in 47 innings.
Bryson Stott and Kyle Schwarber each knocked in two runs and had two hits apiece. Johan Rojas also drove in two for the Phillies, whose 14 runs were the most since their 19-4 win over the Washington Nationals last July.
The Phillies cracked the scoreboard in the first inning as Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto walked, followed by Bryce Harper's single to load the bases against San Francisco starter Keaton Winn.
Alec Bohm was then hit with the next pitch, bringing home the first Philadelphia run. Brandon Marsh followed with a run-scoring single. Winn got Nick Castellanos to ground into a double play, but Harper scored to give the Phillies a 3-0 advantage.
Stott followed with a single to right field, bringing home Bohm. Edmundo Sosa then reached on an infield single, chasing Winn (3-4) from the game after just 39 pitches.
The right-hander lasted just 2/3 of an inning, allowing four hits and five runs while walking a pair.
Mitch White relieved Winn and was welcomed with Rojas' RBI single, extending the Phillies' lead to 5-0.
Realmuto led off the second inning with a triple, then scored on White's wild pitch. The Phillies once again loaded the bases with nobody out before Castellanos drove in Philadelphia's seventh run on a fielder's choice.
Stott then knocked in another run on a single to right. On the next at bat, Sosa hit an RBI groundout to White, giving the Phillies a 9-0 lead.
Thairo Estrada's run-scoring single gave San Francisco its first run in the third. Estrada went 3-for-5.
Wilmer Flores launched his first homer of the season to score Estrada and cut the Giants deficit to 9-3 in the fifth.
The Phils scored a pair of runs scored on Matt Chapman's fielding error in the sixth inning, extending Philadelphia's lead to 11-3. Luke Jackson gave up a two-run single to Schwarber, pushing the Phillies' advantage to double digits.
Whit Merrifield's second home run of the season made it 14-3 in the seventh.
