Amid a tightly contested NL East playoff race, the Philadelphia Phillies delivered a resounding statement Friday night. Entering the night 5.5 games behind the first-place New York Mets, the Phillies tightened the gap with a commanding 8-0 shutout of the Toronto Blue Jays at Citizens Bank Park. Ranger Suárez set the tone with seven scoreless innings, while Kyle Schwarber’s three-run blast fueled the offense and halted Toronto’s red-hot 12-2 stretch in emphatic fashion. Making his eighth start of the season, Suárez threw seven shutout innings, scattering four singles and a walk while striking out six.
