The Phillies continue their pursuit of the NL East title when they take on the surging Braves on "Friday Night Baseball."
Left-hander Ranger Suárez will take the ball for Philadelphia, on the heels of an 11-strikeout start last time out against the Nationals. Suárez holds an important role amid a season-ending injury to ace Zack Wheeler, and thus far, the veteran is delivering.
You could say Kyle Schwarber is back in a groove after snapping out of an 0-for-20 funk at the plate by hitting four home runs in Thursday's series opener. That outburst put him at 49 on the season, one shy of MLB leader Cal Raleigh.
While it's been an underwhelming season in Atlanta, the Braves are playing well of late — they entered the four-game series having gone 14-6 in their last 20 games. Outfielder Michael Harris II and second baseman Ozzie Albies are among the Atlanta bats hitting their stride in the second half.
