The Philadelphia Phillies have continued their impressive start to the 2024 MLB season with a 5-2 victory over the Texas Rangers. Ranger Suárez delivered a standout performance, striking out 10 batters over seven innings, improving his record to 9-0 with a 1.36 ERA in 66 innings. Suárez's season-opening run has drawn comparisons to Hall of Famers Grover Cleveland Alexander and Juan Marichal. He used five different pitches to record his strikeouts and tipped his cap to 41,083 fans as he left the game. Bryce Harper contributed significantly with a home run and a double, while Alec Bohm drove in two runs, bringing his season total to 44 RBIs, tied for the MLB lead. The Phillies have now won 27 of their last 33 games and boast a 35-14 record, the best in baseball. They are on pace to challenge the MLB record of 116 wins in a season, having won 15 consecutive series and 16 of 19 games in May.
