Here are four paragraphs about the Philadelphia Phillies’ win over the New York Mets in the third London Series:
In the opener of Major League Baseball’s third London Series, Ranger Suárez became the season’s first 10-game winner, and Bryce Harper powered the Philadelphia Phillies past the New York Mets on Saturday ¹ ² ³ ⁴. Harper’s home run in the fourth inning was followed by a soccer-style slide, and he was a triple shy of the cycle ¹ ² ³ ⁴.
The Phillies, who have the best record in Major League Baseball (45-19), have now won four games in a row and seven of their last eight ¹ ² ³ ⁴. Harper has 15 home runs this season, and the Phillies are 22-0 when Harper has an RBI ¹ ² ³ ⁴.
Ranger Suárez allowed two runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings, and Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson achieved his 200th regular-season win (200-137) ¹ ² ³ ⁴. Suárez said through a translator that he was “a little wild with my pitches” before making adjustments, and his ERA rose from 1.70 to 1.81.
After Starling Marte’s RBI double in the first, Harper pulled a sweeper from Sean Manaea over the Mets bullpen in right ¹ ² ³ ⁴. The two-time NL MVP then did a soccer slide in front of the Phillies dugout and moments later yelled “I love soccer!” while high-fiving teammates.
