Suarez’s calm demeanor is “definitely contagious,” and the Phillies hope that will be the case for the first Game 7 in their franchise history.
will make history this week, but not the kind they want to make. In their 141-year history, they have never played a Game 7. That will change on Tuesday night, when Phillies starter Ranger Suárez takes the mound against the Diamondbacks’ Brandon Pfaadt to decide the National League Championship Series.
Suárez will take the same approach, but for him, it should come naturally. The left-hander is known for being nonchalant. He said Tuesday night will be no different. Suárez has a 0.64 ERA over three postseason outings this season with 13 strikeouts. Ahead of his first appearance, he said he wanted to pitch deeper into games this this time. He hasn’t done that so far. On Oct. 7 against Atlanta in the NLDS, he pitched 3⅔ innings, as part of Thomson’s plan to keep the Braves off-balance. He went five innings on Oct. 12 against Atlanta at home, and 5⅓ against the Diamondbacks in Game 3 on Thursday.
