Jun 19, 2025; Atlanta, Georgia, USA; Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider (99) throws against the New York Mets in the first inning at Truist Park. Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images Two outstanding starting pitchers will take the mound on Sunday when the Atlanta Braves host the Philadelphia Phillies in the rubber game of their three-game series.
The Phillies won the first game 13-0 and the Braves took the second game 6-1 to square the season series at 4-4. Philadelphia remains a half-game ahead of the New York Mets in the National League East. Atlanta improved to six games under .500 and is seven games out of the final wild-card spot.
The starters for the finale will feature Philadelphia left-hander Ranger Suarez (6-2, 2.08 ERA) against Atlanta righty Spencer Strider (3-5, 4.07), a rematch from May 27.
In that game, Suarez got the win after throwing six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts. Strider, who was making his second start after returning from a right hamstring strain, took the loss despite allowing only one run on one hit in 4 2/3 innings.
Suarez has been one of the most consistent pitchers in the National League. In 10 starts, he has allowed more than three runs only once. He has posted four scoreless stints and allowed one run in two appearances. He has worked seven-plus innings in six starts, including the last four.
In his last start on Tuesday against the host Houston Astros, Suarez gave up one run on four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings.
“You pretty much book six or seven innings every time,” Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson said. “He’s just been incredible.”
Suarez has faced the Braves 20 times in his career, 11 of them starts, going 3-4 with a 3.71 ERA in 68 innings.
Strider is on a three-game winning streak. In his last outing on Tuesday against the host New York Mets, he threw five innings and allowed three runs on two hits with four walks and eight strikeouts.
“The struggles we’ve had up to this point and whatever we might encounter the rest of the season is all in preparation for what we’re ultimately trying to accomplish,” Strider said. “It’s going to make us better. We’ve just got to continue to believe that and keep working.”
Strider has made 10 career appearances (nine starts) against Philadelphia, going 8-1 with a 2.05 ERA. He has 87 strikeouts in 57 innings against the Phillies.
Atlanta’s Matt Olson went 2-for-5 with a double on Saturday and extended his league-best and career-high on-base streak to 29 games. He has raised his batting average from .234 to .258 during that span.
The Philadelphia offense, which scored a season-high 13 runs on Friday, relapsed on Saturday and managed just one run on four hits. The Phillies have scored one or fewer runs in four of their previous five games — all losses.
Atlanta recalled right-hander Kevin Herget from Triple-A Gwinnett and sent righty Michael Petersen down. Herget was claimed off waivers from the Mets on May 18 and posted a 3.86 ERA in 10 relief appearances for Gwinnett.
Philadelphia got a fresh arm on the roster by sending righty Alan Rangel, who worked four innings and earned a save on Friday, to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The Phillies recalled righty Daniel Robert, who worked a scoreless inning on Saturday in Atlanta and struck out two.

Collin Sexton trade grades: What the heck are the Jazz doing? Is there a Lakers angle to all this?
The Utah Jazz just completed a curious trade, sending high-volume scorer Collin Sexton and a 2030 second-round selection to the Charlotte Hornets for the modest return of Jusuf Nurkić.This is largely confusing and could be the first step in a series of moves for the Jazz.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementOr ... they could just have made a trade that makes very little sense. Guess we'll find out.Onto the grades we go!Jazz get bigger and perhaps clear opportunities for Ace BaileyLet's get one thing out of the way. Sexton is a better player than Nurkić and not by an insignificant margin. For the Jazz to send out a pick sweetener seems backward, especially when you consider Sexton's contract is just $18.9 million and expires next summer, same as Nurkić's.So this isn't even a cap-clearing move. If anything, the Jazz actually take on money, as Nurkić sits […]
Bayern de Munique abre o placar contra o Flamengo no Mundial de Clubes
O rubro-negro entrou em campo com Arrascaeta titular e defesa formada por Léo Pereira e Léo Ortiz. De La Cruz reapareceu no banco de reservas. Nos dias que antecederam o jogo, houve debate sobre a intensidade necessária contra o time alemão levou. Uma das possibilidades especuladas seria a escalação de Bruno Henrique para fazer um trio de ataque móvel com Luiz Araújo e Plata. Nesse caso, Gerson recuaria para fazer uma trinca de volantes com Pulgar e Jorginho. Porém, o camisa 27 iniciou no banco de reservas e o sistema utilizado na vitória contra o Chelsea (Inglaterra), na 2ª rodada da fase de grupos, foi mantida. No sistema defensivo, o treinador do Flamengo optou por montar uma dupla de zaga com Léo Ortiz e Léo Pereira. Danilo, que só não foi titular na estreia, a vitória contra o Espérance (Tunísia), […]

BOSTON — Entering the 2024 season, the Boston Red Sox targeted hard-throwing right-hander Jordan Hicks to add to their rotation, but finished as runners-up when Hicks signed with the San Francisco Giants for four years and $44 million.Roughly 18 months later, Hicks sat in the Red Sox dugout, exactly two weeks after being traded to Boston as part of the Rafael Devers deal. The irony was not lost on him.Advertisement“I just remember (the Red Sox) came after me pretty hard and it was between them and the Giants,” Hicks said. “So I’m just excited to be here and feel wanted.”The 28-year-old has been on the injury list since early June with toe inflammation, but after two rehab outings with Triple A Worcester, is set to be activated on Monday as the Red Sox begin a three-game set against the Cincinnati […]
