Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher Joins Hall-of-Famers After Historic Start

Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher Joins Hall-of-Famers After Historic Start

There is little doubt that Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suárez is the team's most effective starter so far this season. Zack Wheeler is off to a good start and his 1.64 ERA is near Suárez's 1.50. Spencer Turnbull — who just transitioned to the bullpen with the return of Taijuan Walker — has 1.57 ERA seven games, six of which were starts. Per OptaStats, four Major League pitchers in baseball's modern era (since 1901) have a WHIP of 0.72 in their first starts with their team winning all eight.
