Phillies left-hander Ranger Suárez was lifted from his final start of the regular season on Sept. 27 after only two innings, having allowed six runs to the Nationals. The second half of the regular season did not go the way Suárez hoped — he posted a 5.

PHILADELPHIA - Phillies manager Rob Thomson made one of the boldest moves in his nearly three-year tenure as manager on Sunday, benching starting third baseman Alec Bohm for Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the New York Mets.
