May 14 marked the first time that Ranger Suarez faced the Phillies after spending his entire career with the franchise. However, Kyle Schwarber and his former teammates bested Suarez and the Red Sox.
Phillies take series in Boston
The Phillies defeated the Red Sox 3-1 in Boston.
Kyle Schwarber hit his 18th home run of the 2026 season, which currently leads the league. Additionally, Schwarber set some more Phillies history, as he passed Hall of Famer Dick Allen for 10th all-time in home runs.
As for the pitching, it was stout on both sides. Jesus Luzardo tossed six scoreless innings, while Ranger Suarez struck out eight in his first game against his old team.
