Whit Merrifield homered and the streaking Philadelphia Phillies routed the San Francisco Giants 14-3 on Saturday night.
PHILADELPHIA -- Ranger Suárez pitched six strong innings, Kyle Schwarber, Johan Rojas and Bryson Stott each drove in two runs, and every starter had at least one hit for Philadelphia. The Phillies have won 15 of 18, and their 23 victories are the most in the majors.The win was dampened a bit by news prior to the contest that shortstop Trea Turner will miss at least six weeks with a left hamstring strain.
One of the Giants' best performances of the evening came in the eighth when outfielder Tyler Fitzgerald retired the Phillies 1-2-3 in a quick eighth inning.Edmundo Sosa went 1 for 4 with an RBI in place of Turner and likely will get the bulk of the starts at shortstop while Turner recovers.Turner was injured on a stellar hustle play in the fourth inning of Philadelphia's 4-3 win over the Giants on Friday.
